Clutch question

'82 CJ-8, 258, T-5. Other than taking it off and measuring it, is there
any way to know if it has a 10.5 or 11 inch clutch? When looking at the
catalogs to order a kit, I see an 11 inch for '80-86, a 10.5 for '80-81
and another 10.5 for '82-86. I don't know which to pick and I'd prefer
to order it and get it here before taking the old one out. (not to
mention avoiding return shipping charges - none of the local parts
stores carries them any more)

It's an eleven inch: http://www.4x4unlimited.net/clutch.htm

How do you know it's 11? PS - The page you linked too doesn't even have
clutches on it. Just master cylinders, linkages, etc.

Look again.

My 83 CJ7, 258, T5 had an 11". When I was calling the checker, auto zone,
pep boys places they were confused. When I called a transmission shop they
were able to determine the right one, and gave an explanation that I can't
remember as to why it was not the smaller one. You may try a specially
store.

Would you like me to send you a screen shot of the page so you can look
again? No clutches anywhere on that page dude.

Clap-

Click the link. In the internet explorer menu, go to Edit, Find on this
page. Type in "Clutch".

It's down below.

No offence, but you guys must not be reading the same page I am.
There's a whole bunch of clutch related stuff there, but no *clutch* and
no pressure plate. There are bearing assemblies, master cylinders,
slave cylinders, forks, fork boots, and linkage parts. But not a single
*clutch* anywhere on that page.

I think he is referring to the 6th and 7th items down the page under
"bearing assembly" - it says 10.50"

I just got a clutch for my 85 CJ7 with the 258 and t5 and it wa part #
MU1897 at Advance Auto Parts. It was $128.00 and I'm pretty sure it was a
10.5 inch disc.

Remanufactured Clutch Disc; Cover Type: Borg & Beck; 10.4" Clutch, 10
Spline, 1 1/8" Hub
