Howdy, new to the group and am wondering if someone could answer some
questions for me.
I just yanked the engine/trans out of my '61 Deluxe 4 speed because 1) the
throwout bearing was wasted and 2) the differential was whining. I have a
'64 axle and 3 speed trans from a Corvan that I'd like to separate and use
that axle in my Greenbrier. I assume the axle will bolt right up to the
trans, but what about the clutch? Should I use the '64 pressure plate,
disk, and throwout bearing? Which input shaft should I use, from the '61
or '64? Anything else I should swap or watch out for?
Concerning vendors, 25-some years ago I used to buy parts from Clark's
Corvair parts for my '62 Greenbrier I had in my teens, but now I notice
another vendor, Corvair Underground, has a nice web site. Any opinions on
which vendor is better, or are they about the same? I noticed that their
prices are similar. Any other vendors I should consider?
Thanks for your help!
