"ARE THEY STILL HERE"?---That sorta' answers your question.
I remember the FERLEC clutch controls on Renaults & some others. I "think" it was the system used on VWs "automatic stick shift"???
WEIRD stuff has come & GONE!!!---Hillmans' EAST-DRIVE automatic transmission used MAGNETIZED metal particles as clutches!!!! I VAGUELY remember factory training on them???---I was in the era of STRANGE little imported cars.

I notice in their parts pic they don't show a clutch disc with caged springs.
FW Clutch is one if not THE best suppliers for clutch applications. I just thought this was odd.

Has anyone ran a 10 inch clutch disc on a 9 inch Model A Clutch? If so, any problems?...08-18-2018, 01:14 PM -
Just purchased a 1930 Model A with a 1980 Jeep engine and 1939 transmission from what I was told. It may have an adapter between bell housing and transmission. When you put the clutch in, you can change gears, but the vehicle doesn't move. The previous owner said it just went out as she had other potential buyers test driving the vehicle. The clutch pedal is kind of soft.
I'm looking for some...08-06-2018, 07:59 AM -
I need a Clutch Disc for the F150 Transmission Input Shaft. Need 9"dia, 10 teeth spline and 1 1/6" shaft to install with a Model A Clutch and Throw Out Bearing on Model A Flywheel.
The hole for the Torsion Spring hub on the Model A Pressure Plate is 5" dia.
Folks say use 86 TBird 2.3L 4cyl Turbo, but that hub is about 5 3/4" dia. Have learned that are using the...03-14-2018, 03:57 PM -
I have a 29 , all stock but 12 volt conversion. have just completed a 500 kilometre road test, back a year or so ago while assembling this project when it came to clutch I replaced disc and bearing . I made a finger adjustment tool as per Toms specs. everything operates smooth , no slippage . My issue is , seems like clutch pedal is off floor almost 1/2 to 3/4 of its travel to engage . by depressing...06-21-2018, 06:44 PM -
My car is now in Venice Florida since last summer. I last drove it in September and had a pretty bad leaking water pump. So I repaired that and just went to go for a ride. Started up like a champ, but the clutch is stuck and pushing in the pedal does nothing. I am right on the gulf and in a garage that is not dehumidified so I suspect it is corrosion causing this.
I seem to have heard...02-19-2018, 03:37 PM -
'31 Vicky -- getting to the point where I (shortly) won't be able to shift it (various medical conditions.)
Re-built engine only has @ 10k miles.
W/O a total drivetrain replacement, what is the most straight forward A/T install?
How about a Ford C-3 or C-4?

After 60 miles of shake-down drives, I am hearing clutch disc chatter with the trans. in nuetral. When I press the clutch pedal in to the point where the slack is taken up the chatter stops. After driving the car for a few miles the chatter is gone (maybe the grease on the new throw-our bearing thins after warming)?
1. All parts are new
2. Clutch disc was centered
3. Pressure plate...08-26-2018, 06:08 PM -
The inside of the flywheel is the most critical part. If the internal splines are worn to where they have divots from the teeth on the clutch pack rattleing, the clutch will not release well. Also, that flywheel looks from the photo to be the early flywheel with out the releaf for the starter drive, so an early starter would be necessary. The transmission gears look good, so that is a plus, and the...03-01-2018, 06:23 AM -
Picked up a complete multi trans from flywheel to u-joint and all looks great except for the ring gear. I'm sure that's why they pulled it and lucky for me. The ring gear might be able to be flipped (worn about half way through), but I'll replace it. Anyone know if they're all the same as a single disc flywheel ? I found out today they are the same ring gear. I was told the clutch pack looks very...04-27-2018, 02:42 PM
