Interesting. I was hoping the 1/4 inch difference wouldn't be enough to cause problems. Sounds like I should just address the problem now while...
I'm just now getting back on this project. I picked up a 10.5 inch Centerforce clutch that fits a 225 v6. I've got a machinist who is going to...

231 v6/SM465/D18 combo, only ever really driven in low range off road. A while back my jeep started acting up. I'm getting a loud but low...
