Nope.....the bellhousing is too small. You are OK with a 9"clutch as long as you make sure everything is working properly. I have run a 9"clutch between a 5 speed and a quick super6 for a long time. Make sure you motor and trans mounts are good. Make sure all the linkage is correct and lubricated. Make sure the Z bar mounts are aligned and solid. Clean everything around the clutch (remove bottom pan) regularly.No oil. I launch my car at an idle....and then get on it. Go easy on the downshifts.....learn to drive without touching the clutch. Save up for a 5 speed. |

I recently got a Zoom clutch set, and the disc and pressure plate are fine, but the throwout bearing was made of soft/plastic/ nylon, which fell apart after I hooked it with the clutch fork...so I ended up using a good metal OEM one I had on the shelf... -D.Idiot |

I would say "it depends" I'm using a 10" in my 73 Scamp with the stock flywheel.....bolted right up, no mod's, got it from Napa.... both the 9 and 10 were listed for that year...... the Scamp was a 3 on the tree np250 when clutch was installed, still in use with the np833od trans and bell..... |

The book i got says to use dextron transmision fluid. I was under the impression the dextron was red. the fluid from my transmission looks like gear oil. what weight should I use the 75 or 80? |

I like to use synth Mobil 1 Dextron if the seals are in good shape and you get no "cruch" from the gears when shifting, 75-80 is fine also, 140 is too high unless your in north africa.... |
