Mr. Brat Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I did searching around and some research, did really find what I was looking for. I found that the XT6 pressure plate has more holding pressure 500k which sounds good to me. But the forum I was reading about this, the guy had the flywheel machined to XT6 specs. Aperantly this was due to the "step" in the clutch? Anyway, What would the best configuration of pressure plate and clutch disk would I want for a EJ w/ 5 spd. dual range? Note: 4" lift and 28" tires, this will be offroaded also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 XT6 pressure plate step height is different, making it lighter. just grab an XT6 clutch kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brat Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) The xt6 clutch kit will fit the ea82 flywheel without any mods? Did some parts checking online and found that the od. size is the same and the id. is an 1/8th smaller on the EA82 and xt6 was 24 spline and the EA82 is 21 spline.

Mr. Brat Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 yeah I seen your thread. Thats kinda where I had got confused with the milling out for the xt6 clutch disk. Then looking into parts the splines are differant between the 2 disks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used XT6 kits in 3 EA82s now. it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brat Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Oh ok that might have been what I had seen. So, I should just buy a complete XT6 clutch kit and it will work just fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
