Re: T18/Dana300 swap update
It's a freak thing, must be two like metals used on both the input
shaft sleeve and the throw out bearing's sliding surface that cause them to gall, exaggerated by a not fully released bearing holding it in a cocked position so as to cause a notch wearing vibration.

Re: T18/Dana300 swap update
Look what I found :
http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/convtrans/fordt18/ and it says : The Jeep T-150, T-18, T-176, SR-4, T-4, and T-5 all use a 1 1/8" 10 spline input shaft and the Ford T-18 uses a 1 1/16" 10 spline input shaft. Your old clutch disk will not fit snuggly on the Ford input shaft, so you will need to purchase a new disk. The disk can be a regular 10 1/2" Ford disk (or 11" if you have an 11" clutch). The Centerforce clutch disk #384180 is a 10 1/2" clutch that will fit the Ford transmission. So does that mean that a standard 79 CJ clutch won't work ?

The standard '79 jeep clutch does work - unlike the '81+ model years, the '79 uses a 1 1/16" 10 spline input shaft. The later models have a 1 1/8" 10 spline input shaft. Robert Bills KG6LMV Orange County CA http://www.outdoorwire.com/4x4/jeep/...p-l/billsr.htm http://www.RobertBills.com |
