    The Jeep T98 is a 1 1/16-10 according to my chart, the T90 is a 1 1/8-10, so you'll need a disc splined to match the T98.
    Have you tried Carl Walck? Krage?
    Kaiser Willys? Willys Works? Northstar Willys?

    The clutch disk is the same between t-90 and t-98.

    Now that I've said that, I have found some disks that almost must be 'forced' on to a t-98 shaft, and others that slide on easily.

    If you are looking for a clutch disk, I'd stay away from the jeep parts vendors. They get their parts from Omix-Ada, and that generally means low quality, low end, may or may not fit hardware.

    Go for a name brand clutch plate at NAPA or some other FLAPS dealer and pay the extra few $$ (if any) for the name brand.

    The clutch disks I have in the shop that fit the t-98 easily are ALL marked with the name brand, whilst the ones that don't fit easily are not marked.

    Note that all the disks fit a t-90 shaft easily.

    No, I sell mostly used stuff and you don't want a used clutch.

    I'll do this, though.

    I will go out to the barn tomorrow and check the clutch disks and give you the brand names.

    If they have part numbers on them I'll give you that too.
