    Which clutch manufacturer would you consider the best for my Willys? I'll also want to replace the TO bearing and rear main seal while I have the engine out.
    Thanks!

    Might consider removing the transmission, versus the engine.

    For the amount of torque & RPM involved I don't really think it matters, whatever Walck's etc. is selling will be fine. Getting the flywheel surfaced would be a good idea.

    TO bearing replacement is always a good thing :)

    For the rear seal I've heard horror stories about both the rope & neoprene alternatives, my. $.02 is if it isn't leaking don't mess with it.

    The best clutch is the optional 9.25" that was offered in the 60's in CJ5-6 with 134F a 60's era Flywheel will already be drilled for it.

    I have upgraded the 8.5" that was stock in my Willys to the larger clutch.

    Thanks so much. I've got to pull the engine to fix the rear most exhaust manifold stud. Clutch seems fine now but probably came in the jeep. It only has 18000 miles. The rear main is leaking a little.
    Again, thanks for your input. I'll follow the 9.25" suggestion.
