The Astro Van T5 Transmission is a direct bolt on to the 1965 bell housing.

The input shaft and collar needed no (Zero) modification to fit.

The 11" Astro Van clutch kit was used, it includes clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing and pilot pushing.

An new flywheel, 14.150" diameter, 168 tooth supporting an 11" clutch was required as the 1965 flywheel was drilled only for a 10" clutch kit. The flywheel is common for I6, V6, V8, Cars/Trucks, etc. We are finalizing and ensuring the PNs listed in post #2 are correct for you.

So, I have a heavy duty clutch in my bell housing and new unblemished flywheel, its all new, its all Chevrolet, there were Zero (NO) modifications and its easy to remember.

1965 Bell Housing (including the parts that bolt to the housing)

1984 to 1990 Chevy Astro Van V6 (262 cu in) 11" diameter clutch kit.

Even I can remember that later when I need a new clutch and I can get any of it serviced anywhere!
