Does this clutch still look serviceable ?

[DorianL]

what do you think ?

Not much longer Dorain.
Been beat on hard some.

Centerforce Dual friction in 11.00 diameter I recommend.
Its expensive but will last.
Light pedal disengagement for the Wife also.
Super tough clutch too.

You have a Muncie from 1963- 1970 it has 10 - spline input shafts.

No 26-spline input shaft like 1971-74.

1970 M22 Rock crusher Muncie cars had the 26-spline input shaft also.

Ira, that clutch’s better days are all behind it now, it’s almost down to the rivets.
I have the 26 spline and a Zoom set up, nice and easy pedal.

What does the flywheel look like?

 

[chromebumpers]

It looks like some un-even wear.

simply because a clutch disc , and throw out bearings are reasonable cheap compared to the time and effort needed to replace them, should either fail,
its almost always a good Idea to have the disc, and throw-out bearing,
replaced and if the pressure plate,looks to be well used,or
is suspect, Id have it checked out, resurfaced and in most cases the spring(s) replaced by a local clutch rebuilder
when I was racing I was on a first name basis with one of the better local clutch and brake pad rebuilders
because I was in there every few months.

Thanks gents!!!! Indeed, I think it is a good idea to replace the friction disk. The rest looks relatively ok. I’ll get a closer look tomorrow

 

[DorianL]

What does the flywheel look like?

I’ll get a second look tomorrow, but it looks pretty good.

Take some 220 sandpaper and scuff .
SHOULD be resurfaced or replaced the flywheel.
New clutch kit is best.

Depending on what shape the flywheel is in, I would replace pressure plate, disc, throw out bearing and have the flywheel resurfaced and have no doubt in the clutch reliability.
