Clutch help quick

[chris12]

OK just took the clutch off and ready to install the new one but does a bearing or a bushing go in the flywheel. The clutch came with both and when i removed the old one nothing was in the flywheel hole.
The truck is a 88 k-5 350 with a Sm 345 12' clutch

run the bushing. they are more reliable then the bearing. ive heard of a few people having the bearing fail...

 

[chris12]

alright so ill run the bushing instead of the bearing.

Also all of the bolts holding the clutch on had flat washers, the new clutch says not to use flat washers or lock washers. IS this normal.​

Yep. It'snormal. I can't remember the last time I used washers. A little locktite and your all set.

slip that bushing over the input shaft of the trans to make sure it fits first. That's something you want to find out now rather than while trying to install the trans.
