 Has anyone had any experience in running a rigid clutch disk on a

 or something would work?  TIA >>


With the way parts inside these trannys like to break and crack, I would not
even consider it.  The spring center and cushions between the disks do an
awful lot to keep the engine vibrations from transferring to the gears.
