- 1979 CJ-5 Renegade with '74 304 V8 & Edelbrock manifold & carb, Heddman headers & sidepipes, T-150 3 speed, Dana 20, Dana 30, AMC 20
Hi guys. Thanks to the help on this forum I know I need to replace the throwout bearing on my AMC 304 w/ T-150 . While my guys are in there we're doing a clutch kit and resurfacing the flywheel too.
Here's my dilemma: The CJ5 is a 1979 with a replacement AMC 304 . I've tracked down the engine code and believe it to be a 1974 engine. I have no idea if the tranny is a 1974 or 1979 (as I think the T-150 would work with either engine and came from the factory that way).
I notice there are a couple clutch kits to chose from and they have different order numbers. Do I order based on the year of the engine or the tranny?
I guess I'm glad to have a 1974 motor as its more powerful than the later emissions-choked ones...just confused as to which kit to use...don't want to have to do this again or cause worse issues later.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
