clutch brand and type
I have a 66 GTO with tripower, 4 speed, base 389 with 068 cam and 2-1/2 exhaust. My clutch is in need of replacing. I want to insure some good "off the line" grunt. Can anyone suggest a brand name or company to get this from? Do I just the the clutch, plate and throwout bearing?
Thanks |

You can get some real good deals on Ebay. They might not be advertised as a GTO clutch. As long as you know the spline count and size you should be OK. I bought 2 clutch disc on seperate auctions for about $10.00 each plus shipping and they were top quality. They were advertised for a Corvette.

would you suggest the OEM clutch or something else to insure I have the proper "grabbing" with the clutch? Honestly, I don't know what fits and doesn't so I would be a little uncomfortable on Ebay, but would like some advice.

You should have a 10.5 inch 10 spline clutch, it might be a 11 inch if someone changed it. If you buy a new kit, it might be made in Korea. Which do you think is better, a American made vintage clutch or a after market Korean clutch? The stuff I bought off Ebay was new NOS American made.

Ken K:
Could you look at your "my e-bay" and tell us the name of the seller?

I purchased one of the ones that Paul Spotts recommends. Priced right and no problems. Great for close to stock setup;

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
