I know that the following may not relate to this site, but there are a lot of intelligent people on here and my question relates to cars in general, thus someone should be able to help me.

The pressure plate on my transmission is 8.875" with a 1"spline that has 23 teeth. I found a clutch kit with a pressure plate that was 8.5" with a 1" spline and 23 teeth. I was wondering if the difference in size would not allow that kit to fit on my engine? I'm new to clutches and transmissions, so if this seems like a dumb question i'm sorry but i don't know. Also if this will not work if any one has ideas for me to get something that will handle the power that i am shooting for(explained below) that would be helpful.

I have a 1996 ford range with a 2.3l (115 BHP 130Lb.tq. aprox.) engine the same basic engine that came in some mid 80's mustangs turbocharged. I am planing to turbocharge my pickup looking for a power gain of about 150 hp. Based on that ammount of gain I decided that im' going to need a new clutch so I started looking on the internet for one. My search came up with little results aprently not many people want their rangers to have that much power .

 

anyone have any idea....we've been tossin this question around for a while......come on! We need to find a clutch for this truck!

 

So im guessing you cant find a clutch kit made specifically for this truck? Doesnt ford use the same engine in a bunch of other cars, if so you can find out which one and see if there is a clutch for it that you didnt find yet. I bet that clutch would work, as long as you have a flywheel that has the same surface as the disc and PP.

 

k...we were also entertaining the idea of finding a new flywheel, clutch and PP assembly that fits the bolt and spline pattern on the tranny...
