Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2006Clutch?
Having not much experience with Studebaker six cylinder cars and running gear I have to ask these questions. Can larger pressure plates be used with the original smallest clutch/pressure/flywheel set up for the 170cid? I have the 8" clutch and pressure plate. Will the flywheel handle an 8.5" or larger setup without changing the flywheel? Are any of the bolt patterns the same? Can the original flywheel be used by drilling new holes for the pressure plate? I see from the chassis parts manual that Studebaker used the same flywheel for std. transmission six cylinders for 69, 62-64. Although in 62-64 an 8.5 clutch was used. Does this use the same bolt pattern? What I want to do is keep the original bellhousing and flywheel but use a bigger clutch. Thanks for any help, Wiz. Sorry, I did not put year of car. It's a 59 Lark. Wiz. > Having not much experience with Studebaker six cylinder cars and running > gear I have to ask these questions. [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Wiz. The taxi cabs used a bigger cluch, check withe SASCO to see what flywheel and bell housing was used. You might be able have your flywheel redrilled if the bell housing is the same. > Sorry, I did not put year of car. > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >> >>Wiz.

I think too that the 8.5" pressure plate is assembled with the same cover as the 8" pressure plate so no drilling of the flywheel should be necessary.
