I need help getting the right clutch for my application
I need help getting the right clutch for my application.
1984 firebird with SBC 400 / t5 trans, 26 spline zoom clutch.
My question is what diameter of clutch do i need ? 10" / 10.5" ?
I have the following clutch kits in mind but the diameter is a bit different, would any of these work ok ? Are these crappy kits to consider ? Thankx for any help

Third gens with 305 use a 10.5 26 spline clutch.
One of those is 10 spline; don't get that.
One is listed as 10 & 3/8" which is fine.
88 Vettes got a 10.75" which is fine.

Is there a reason you're looking to buy from eBay? Why not just buy the part directly from summit and cut out the middle man? I guess it doesn't matter, but something about eBay parts just reminds me of 16 year olds with Honda Civics, lol.

Roger that. Summit/Jegs have way better return/support should your part not be right or?
Good piece of mind anyways. They are usually really good about that. Just dont have much faith in ebay;reminds me of Harbor Freight...its like the bowling alley of shopping malls.
