clutch questions

[89frankenford]

ok so im buying a new clutch kit and flywheel for my truck. since im putting a new tranny in i figured since im in there im going to replace all of that too...is there any other way for me to tell if i have a 10" clutch or 11" clutch? i tried finding the reciepts from when i did the clutch back 3 years ago when i rebuilt the motor but had no luck. is there any reason why there is an 11 " or 10" clutch? which is better?

tip: you can resurface the flywheel and don't need a new one

Cool Jurgen, Im looking forward to it.

here you go.. the friction material is made out of Kevlar

the light brown is the friction material its less surface area then a stock clutch strange uh?

the pressure plate

Probably more for cooling. Kevlar is a much more durable material, but likely is susceptible to heat issues more than the cheaper materials...

that looks pretty cool Jurgen. the reason why im getting a new flywheel is because when i rebuilt the motor 2-3 years ago i never resurfaced itand its been through hell since and the ring gear is pretty much shot. so i figured get the flywheel all new and start fresh. that clutch kit looks killer! but i think om going to opt for a stock clutch kit due to prices...and having to by a new flywheel, plus getting the rear axle set to get put in. ....when i do all this i will post a thread of the entire transmission/clutch/rear axle job....oh and rear leaf springs now too....lool
