Hi all do any members know a good reputable place for a clutch to suit a 5 speed in a brumby. Also need some front and rear main seals and some manifold gaskets inlet, a couple of rocker cover gaskets any advice appreciated.
Thanks

Watch what you ask for...if still EA81 the flywheel step in use and the step required by the pressure plate needs to be considered. You might try a clutch sales specialist to get the bits separate, or them sell you an L Series EA82 friction plate to add.

You need to know if you have 200 or 225mm flywheel as you can have either.

Factory sent EA81s out in 200 & 225mm both with 23mm step. If you have EA81 and 200mm you may have a Gemini friction plate hanging off the boxes splines !

All EA82s got 21mm step in 4WD boxes and EA82 T FWD at least.

If you have EA81 and 225mm flywheel, just an EA82 4WD or turbo clutch kit and ensure the flys step is 21mm and you should be fine

And , need to watch the throwout bearing to see it pushes on the tips of the clutch pp fingers and not 10mm further out like mine was for 9 years ! harder and bit easier to crunch if clutch foot gets lazy

Go genuine on seals and inlet gaskets. Aftermarket OK for RCG's

You really need to know if the 5 speed conversion has been done with the EA81 clutch and some hybrid throw out bearing or if it's a EA81 flywheel with EA82 clutch pressure plate and disc.

Or are you running an EA82 with the 5 speed? If so a stock EA82 clutch will do.

Thanks for that ok will measure the fly the box came from Japan out of a Ea81 turbo looks the same as 82 box ahh! The joys of building toys, well actually it is my daily driver
Thanks will chase original seals and gaskets I will see what frog has. Thanks again
