Thread: Clutch

Certainly looks like a packer. Mine doesn’t have the packer and the slave sits directly on the pressed steel bracket.

I’ve always found it better to order parts when you have the old bits out - particularly clutches, as there seems to be such a variety that could have been used. If you have the option, I’d pull the old one first and measure it, certainly if your buying from OS or online and can’t easily swap it or return it.

Without actually completely disassembling it, you can, after you remove the floor and transmission tunnel, remove the gearstick and see through the inspection opening that it's bracket covers whether you have the 9 or 9.5" clutch. The former has coil springs with three fingers, the latter has a diaphragm spring with a large number of fingers and a disc attached to them.

aKelly on here had a thread about this recently.

The thread is called "flywheel ID" and it's in the Holden Powered Series section.
The photo below is from that thread.

You would think that there would be enough threaded adjustment in the mechanism to take up 1/4"

Cheers, Mick.

I found a spacer on my series 3 clutch slave that is the same as the first photo.
I havent found spacers on the series 11 type as per second photo

i would use the existing spacer and adjust the pedal as needed to suit themater cylinder
