Clutch Questions!
A year ago I bought a Perfection clutch kit from Rock Auto. At that point my DM flywheel was acting fine - not even sure it had one. I didn't get around to doing the job myself, so hired a young fellow to do it. By then, the DM flywheel was really acting up. My mechanic said the flywheel was too...- Chuckmeister

Wrong Flywheel with conversion clutch
I've learned a lot about flywheels and clutches. None of the suppliers have complete info. To backtrack, I ordered a perfection conversion kit from Rock Auto. after almost a year of trying to find time to put it in myself, I hired a young guy in a new shop to do it. The starter didn't mesh with...- Chuckmeister

Wrong Flywheel with conversion clutch
Good thought to look on the box. If I can come up with a part number for the pressure plat, that should make it easy to match with a smaller flywheel. I've found other suppliers who give more dimensions. Looks like my original flywheel is 15 11/16. Somewhere I've seen the one that is now in the...- Chuckmeister

Since my 89 7.3 doesn't have a turbo, I chose the Perfection, rather than the Valeo which was for aftermarket turbo. I have...- Chuckmeister

ZF5 reverse - repair time!
All of the above. My '89 F 250 has had that problem since I bought it and I have been keeping my fingers crossed. Once it's in, its in. Most of the time I can keep it from grinding by"popping" it into reverse. The momentum seems to carry it beyond the slop or wear. Putting it in an other gear...- Chuckmeister

In case of EMP
For years, I smugly figured with my VW Rabbit diesels, 7.3IDI F250 and diesel tractors, the hungry hoards were my only problem. It then occurred to me that law enforcement and emergency services would quickly confiscate the road vehicles so I would be going to town on a tractor or hitching a...- Chuckmeister
