9 inch Opel Clutch Assembly

krewzer · 11-14-2007

Can anyone tell me what Opel used a 9 inch clutch? It is an upgrade thru OGTS, and is an Opel clutch assembly and flywheel. I have the S-10 behind my Unorthadox flywheel, but am worried about future adjustments and the lack of availability of a longer pivot bolt.
Thanks

OGTS is currently out of the 9" clutch which I thnik is used on the 2.2 and 2.4 motors.

I also am not sure what my options are I think I have an opel 9" setup some where for my 2.2 but if I can find it I will need one, currently have 8" with mild 1.9 and 5 speed

maybe unorthadox is way to go with with s-10??

The 9 inch is used behind the 2.2L engine from Rekord 2.2L EFIs, a very heavy Opel. The 2.4L used a deep flywheel, that won't fit using a Getrag.
(At least not without reinventing the wheel.)
I'll see if I can find a picture of a 2.4L flywheel & post.

I have one of these 2.4 flywheels laying around here as well...is it good for anything other than scrap? It weighs a ton!
