Help me identify what clutch i need

Texas01GT · May 5th, 2009, 10:00 PM

hey everyone i was in the process of getting a new clutch when i found out i needed some info that i didnt know...im pretty sure i have a T-45 tranny, i have a 2001 GT and the door tag says build date 02/01, and where is says TR, there is a 6 below it, my question is do i need the 10.5 inch clutch or the 11 inch?

P.S and just to double check...i do have the T-45 right????

RC02GT · May 5th, 2009, 10:02 PM

10.5"

RC02GT · May 5th, 2009, 10:07 PM

and they started the tr3650 in february 01, you have a 6 so you have the t-45, a K would mean the tr3650

Texas01GT · May 5th, 2009, 10:13 PM

on American Muscle they have the ram clutch that says it works for 86-Mid 00GT with the t-5 and t-45 with a 10.5 clutch.....then they have one that says Mid 2001-04GT with 11inch clutch..really throws me off....

Romeo motors have a 6 bolt crank and winsors have the 8 bolt. Find out what engine type you have and then you should know. I think there is a stiker somewhere on the valve covers that will say.

Texas01GT · May 5th, 2009, 10:31 PM

i assume the 6 bolt is the 10.5 and 8 bolt is the 11?

RC02GT · May 5th, 2009, 10:36 PM

8 bolt is the t45 they went to a 6 bolt on the 3650

RC02GT · May 5th, 2009, 10:37 PM

You have a t45 tranny, 6 bolt crank, 10.5" clutch.

You can just count the bolts on the valve covers. Romeo engines have 11 bolt valve covers and Windsor engines have 13. I'm not 100% sure on the number of bolts for the romeo but I am sure about the windsor. The 6 Means you have a T-45, however, from what AM is telling you, you can use either the 86-00 clutch or the 01-04 clutch.

Mine is 8 bolt with a t-45

Or just look at the trans... the 3650 has an integral bellhousing.

2002 BLK GT · May 8th, 2009, 04:52 PM

Theres a lot of good ones like Spec for example...

Texas01GT · May 8th, 2009, 07:52 PM

yea, spec has some mixed reviews, some like some dont, guess its all on the person.

mounder27 · May 8th, 2009, 08:07 PM

centerforce is probably the best IMO, i wish i would have gone that route but the ram is a better priced....

2002 BLK GT · May 9th, 2009, 01:21 AM

I think all of them have different reviews especially when someones buy more clutch than needed or doesnt wait till the clutch breaks in...
