t5 are metric. the measure on the pilot shaft part of the input measures 15mm which equals 0.5906. that makes a variance of 0.0014" between them and the earlier std input size of 0.592"

Hi guys!

I am putting a s-10 t5 in my `61 Apache with a 283, I have all the parts needed except for the clutch. In my truck now I have a 10" clutch. It is quite worn (both pressure plate and disc) and I want to change it.
I understand that many choose to use a 11" clutch from an Astro van. Will that pressure plate fit my flywheel? If not, are there any 10" clutch kits with a 14 spline disc that would fit my truck?
