Re: Complete T5 swap thread - one way to skin the cat

Astro 11" clutch disk will fit on the stock v8 flywheel and inside the stock bell hsg.

Highly recommend buying an astro van 11" KIT, which includes disk, pp, and release bearing for reasons stated earlier in the thread - proper stacking height of the combo.

But generally speaking - as CRGRS pointed out, it's important to buy a clutch (kit) that was designed for the trans you're buying it for, not the vehicle or the pressure plate, etc. This ensures proper spline count, among other things.

It can be made to work by piecing together parts, but I had enough headaches already, very glad I went with a complete kit when it came to the clutch disk/pp/release bearing. Known combo that works. Just a recommendation, many ways to skin the cat, as the thread title implies! Good luck, hope the install goes smoothly.
