- The srarter in this 1967 Corvette with a 327 has been gring for years making it difficult to start at times. I take it apart to investigate the ring gear on the flywheel ands discover that the flywheel as well at the complete clutch need to be replaced.

That motor looks ready for a refresh.
Like your videos! For someone who does a bunch of those transmission jobs, an old motorcycle inner tube section works great to hold universal joints while disconnected. I don't think I would have put grease on the spline of the transmission though. I could be wrong but, the throw out bearing could be wrong type for a diaphragm pressure plate, ball type ones are usually for those, flat type ones are for finger type pressure plates I believe is why adjustment is off. ✌️👍
I put a minimal amount of grease on the splines as the directions said to do that. Also, I feel like the new flywheel may be a lot thinner (and lighter) than the one I took out and that may have thrown the geometry off. You would think if you order a clutch for one of these that you would get the right stuff. Thanks for watching!
Wow- Nice job again Bryan. I know you had to be exhausted fighting to get that tranny back in by yourself. Did your mother purchase that car new? It must be worth a small fortune! Thanks again Bryan for taking your time showing us this job. Have a beautiful day!! Cheers!! Illinois, USA
She was given this car by her father in the mid 80's when she offered to buy it. The body is not in the best of condition but it is a lot of fun to drive. Thanks for watching!
Throw bearing on wrong
Why do you say that? When he was demonstrating the bearing on the input shaft it looked like the bearing was correct. If he is correct and the flywheel is thinner then that would explain the difference in adjustment. I have a '65 and I installed an aftermarket clutch rod with heim joints at each end. This might increase your adjustment range. I think I bought it from Corvette Central.
