Not your job!
Tell them to have the car towed to a shop of your choice, resurface the flywheel, replace the clutch (look at Ram or Center Force), and the TOB.
Tell them you will pay for the new TOB as they are in there.
They broke it, they get it fixed.
The flywheel may need replacement if they heat cracked it. Easily done by a person that has no idea how to drive a standard.
The question should be, what is a local/reputable shop that can replace an AMC clutch.

I am needing to find the clutch disc and pressure plate.  i seem to remember they were centerforce and that i got them from summit but that was 8 years ago..
Does anybody have part numbers or even specs that i can look up?

Trader,
yes i know its their fault and they will pay to have it fixed.  However there is no shop in houston that works on any amc that i am aware of so i will end up doing it myself and billing them for it.
It wont need a throw out bearing as this clutch, pressure plate, flywheel and bearing have only 2 miles on them..I am praying that the flywheel only needs resurfacing as its a 343 and i had to have Hays make one for me and i understand that they dont make them anymore for this car.
I am just now getting around to finishing my car after a 4 year battle with cancer..

Thanks yall..

I don't use CF, the TOB should be 1491 and the clutch DF271739.
I do hear good things about Ram clutches. They offer the 50-2122 as a diagram clutch which I would highly recommend going to as we age!
TOB should be the same 1491 for 71 and up.

Advanced Clutch Technology JP1-HDSS is another option.


Wait and welcome others to provide opinions.

i am in process of replacing a CF clutch due to throwout bearing failure. appeared to be faulty manufacturing, clutch had 10k miles.  I am going with a ram b&b style ( https://ramclutches.com/product/88499HDX/ )this clutch comes with the larger 1.40" throw out bearing. you will more than likley need a 1.30" throw out bearing the 1491 is the 1.30.  also I would recommend a new throwout bearing.

i think this is the cf clutch

TOB
CF1489 - 1.416" ID, CF1491 - 1.313" ID, SKF N1491 - 1.416" ID, SKF N1701 - 1.317" ID
Measure your bearing retainer and you want approximately 0.020" clearance between the bearing retainer and your TOB ID.
I don't like the CF clutch as it has a balance mechanism that will sometimes mess up. If they made them like everyone else - neutral balance, without that extra bell and whistle, I would use them.

The CF pressure plate is neutral balanced; it does not change the balance of the rotating assembly.  I assume you mean the centrifugal weights, and you can remove them if you don't like them, but...

There are many, many positive reviews here for the CF DF clutch.

Thanks everybody
