 Topic: 69 T10 Clutch partsPosted: Mar/22/2017 at 6:29pm |

I have a 69 T10 in the 72 Gremlin with a 401. 5 years ago, we install the stock Clutch Kit (NEW) - 10 1/2" - includes pressure plate, disc, throwout bearing, pilot bushing, alignment tool. As I remember, the 69 has the larger throwout bearing? Correct? What would you install to replace the whole system? Any aftermarket improvements that would hold up better than the stock setup? I was told once to use Hayes parts. Should I be using a 11" instead of the 10.5"? Thoughts, vendor choices, information welcome. thanks, Woody

Yes to the larger throw out bearing. I personally used the RAM clutch set. I can find the part number if you need it, but it was their B+B type, good for about 450 hp or so. A bit stiffer than stock on the pedal and a bit more grab, but nothing unmanageable. It comes with the larger bearing, btw.

If you can find the part number without much trouble, thanks. I'm running about 360 HP. No racing, getting old and hope it isn't going to break a leg ;-) |

RAM 88499HDX is the part number, I got it from Summit racing. It is a 10.5" diameter and uses the 69 and earlier type of TO bearing. I found it is a bit, but only a bit, stiffer than a diaphragm type. I also noticed that the depth of engagement is quite a bit less. The diaphragm type I had before was about twice as far from where it began to grab to where it is fully engaged, compared to the RAM clutch.
This is basically similar to what the cars had originally, but with a bit more grab. I also hope it is a bit more durable than the diaphragm type, which died on me in about 12,000 miles. Thanks! Chris
