Re: [AMC-list] Help I'm in a clutch dilema...

[Glen Hoag <hoag@xxxxxx>]

Richard,
I'm coming late to this party, and others have given good advice 
already.  I just checked my parts catalog and TSM and found that the 
four (2.5L Iron Duke) was equipped with a 9.125" clutch disc, while 
the six was equipped with a 9.5" disc.

For the four, the cover assembly is unique in AMC usage, as it uses 
dowels to locate the cover on the flywheel.  This one seems to be 
reasonably available; RockAuto lists it in three brands.

The clutch disc and cover assembly for the six is the same for all 
82/83 01-40 (Concord/Spirit), both 4- and 5-speed transmissions.  The 
cover mounts with three bolts and has a 9.5" pressure plate.  I found 
a cross reference for the clutch set (cover/disc) on O'Reilly Auto 
Parts web site as a special order Fenco (Fenwick Automotive Products) 
#BU1881A.  No price is listed, and it is not available for online 
ordering.  Fenco's web catalog <http://www.fencoparts.com> doesn't 
list this part number, so it may be dead, though the company claims 
"full coverage from 1920 to current year models".  AutoZone lists the 
disc only as Valucraft #FCP1007N.

The 1982 TSM points out that the Concord/Spirit clutch is different 
from the Eagle, which switched to 10.5" in mid-81.  The Eagle clutch 
cover mounts with six bolts.
