Wow, so much for consolidating part numbers and saving money! I wonder if so many clutch discs is why they went under :-O Easy upgrade then to go to a CJ or Eagle flywheel. 9.5" should do fine, I'd definietly upgrade if towing etc, Mark Price Morgantown, WV 26508 1969 AMC Rambler, 4.0L, EFI, T-5 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.7L, Quadratrac II "I realize that death is inevitable.

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. --Glen At 07:22 AM 5/11/2009, Richard Estermyer <javelinman74@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >Hey Group, > >Trying to find a clutch kit for the 82 Concord wagon, >5-speed.
