I don't recall the details, other than it's a 10.5" diaphragm clutch. The only trick is that the clutch plate needed to match the spline count of the G-Force T5 input shaft. Stock Z-Bar and a Jeep Bellhousing, and stock clutch pedal assembly.

Anyone ever install a Super T10 in an AMX? I see Summit carries them with both of the lower 1st gear ratios. I assume different spline counts on both ends so a new clutch disc and yoke - at a minimum. What else would be different?

A Ford style should bolt up, IIRC. Input shaft length has to be correct to fit an AMC T-10 bell. I think you can use a 80s Jeep six bell with multi trans patterns and a late 80s Ford shaft length, just like installing a T-5.

The Richmond Super T10 comes in a Chevy bolt pattern. You'll need a $1000 Quicktime bellhousing, clutch & pressure plate, rear yoke, possibly a new driveshaft, shifter, & custom speedometer cable. So, basically, everything is different. If you want a lower first gear T10, you'd be better off shopping for an AMC T10 with the 2.64 first gear ratio. They can be hard to find, but they are out there. Edited by scott - Aug/16/2019 at 3:10pm |

I was afraid of that...AMC T10s with the lower ratio seem about impossible to find. Any idea what years and models they came in?

You have other options. There are several five speeds available much stronger than a T-5, as strong as a super T-10. Keisler makes one. They will fit either a T-10 bell or the late AMC/Jeep multi bell (the one used for a T-5 behind a V-8). Not cheap, but a better choice for overall street/strip performance. The T-10 is better suited for a drag car where you can run a lower rear gear.

Seems Keisler is no longer... bankrupt! But they were bought out and a new company formed! https://www.hotrod.com/articles/silver-sport-transmissions-takes-over-keislers-assets/ I thought they made their own transmissions, but what they have listed now is a modified Tremec TKO and the components to fit it into a classic muscle car (including AMCs!). Apparently that's what they had from the beginning, not an original design trans, which some of their early literature seemed to make you think, at least to me.

SST was the company I got the Tremec quote from. The complete system for my car basically required everything from the flywheel to the rear end and somewhere north of $4K. Sounded like a great set up but that’s a good deal more than I wanted to spend.

I checked this out myself once. The AMC T-10 pattern looks like the narrow Ford T-10 pattern, but it is slightly different.

I think they came in cars with the 290 engine.
