[HALFWAY]

I am replacing a 64-326 with a 65-326 and I am installing the manual transmission from the 64 onto the 65. I purchased a new pressure plate and clutch plate. Once I removed the pressure plate from the 64 I realized the two did not look the same. Pictures included.

The old one has 3 fingers and the new one has a dozen or so fingers.

Will this setup work and the important distance where the fingers line up?

The new part is a LUK and all the pressure plates I have searched for looks like the new one.

Do I have something weird or old design no longer used?

Also, the old motor has a ball bearing insert for the transmission shaft and the new kit has a solid bearing, should I use or get a new ball bearing insert versus the sold bearing insert?

Thanks
