flywheel

[ckinney89sho]

ok so im doing my clutch got the tranny out and i was about to put in the new pp but the bolt patterns are differenty. are there two different flywheels that have different bolt patterns? please help this is my dd and i need it fast.

The very early ones have the 9.25" instead of the current 9.75" , either the flywheel or the PP of the smaller size are harder to find.

You most likely need a flywheel. Or find the smaller clutch kit , but good luck for this one.

Do the pressure plates look the same?

 

[LOUDSHO92]

Did you get a cast iron pressure plate or stamped steel?

the bolt pattern on the two PP's are different. the disk that was on there is 9.75" O.D. the new one is 9.25" and i believe that they are both stamped steel. a magnet sticks to both

Ohhh the new one is 9.25? , Where did you buy this? I hope you didnt get screwed...Cause its actually worth less then the standard one.

You could just resurface your old flywheel(9.75 one) if it's in good condition. I recommend you get a 9.75 flywheel rather than buying a new clutch for 9.25 flywheel.

my flywheel now is 9.75 and the new clutch is 9.25

My bad. I read it backwards. You should get a new clutch kit (9.75). It will last longer and can take more power, and stock replacement clutch kit isn't too pricey.

The cheapest one I can find is like 215 bucks on ebay.. You could try to sell the clutch kit you have on ebay. Or post it on wanted section. Some sho onwers might have new clutch kit that they can sell to you.

I can send you a 9.25 flywheel if you want it. It will need to be resurfaced. Shoot me your address and I'll get a shipping quote. It can be there by tuesday if you are in the western part of NY.

By the way James, the engine in the car you sold Beth had the original flywheel and clutch...148,000 miles and it was still working.

There's a reason Ford recalled it, because it is a weak setup and wont last long. I would never go for the 9.25 setup.

 

[St Louis SHO]

Did you read what Tom posted? The 90 I sold Beth had a 9.25, with 148k, still working.

I do agree you should upgrade, but cmon...
