Steel case toyota 5 speed, you need a toyota clutch plate and a holden pressure plate.
Don't forget to replace the bearing in the back of the crank with the correct fitting one.
Dellows in sydney sell them.

As ALX76 has said you will need the spigot and clutch plate for the Celica box and also you will need
a different crossmember and possibly a different speedo cable. (I am not sure from the end of the cable it shows in the picture)
If you contact either Dellow or CRS they sell a slip yoke to suit std Holden uni's so that you do not have to get a tailshaft modified
to suit, you can just use the std one.
Looking at the bellhousing You will need a HZ pull type clutch cable and peddle assembly and also the thrust bearing and carrier to
suit the pull type clutch system as well and thinking about it you will also have to cut a hole in the firewall for the cable to go thru if
this is to go in to a HJ.
I may be easier to get the push type clutch bellhousing and fit that but the pull type system is the better set up.
If you have a look here
http://gallery.oldho.../Tech/Gearboxs/
There are pictures at the bottom of the page that show what you will need if you want to go the pull type clutch route.
Cheers Paul.

PBR Dyna clutch plate usually fits the holden 1 tonner pressure plate with no mods.
FYI some brands and models may need a slight amount taken off the inner diameter of the pressure plate for the clutch plate to fit in.

Always check the fitting of new parts well when mixing and matching brands/ parts etc.

EDIT, if not replacing ur pressure plate, take it with u to the shop if possible.

Like they say, you get what you pay for...

I have read a lot of bad stuff about Procomp/Sydney Speed Supplies/AT Racing, and not a lot of good stuff...

Have a squiz here - http://www.fordmods....its-t64899.html - that was found with a quick Google search.

Also here - http://www.calaistur...ead.php?t=95132

and here - http://www.aussiev8....s-anyone-2.html

and also here - http://forum.streetc...pplies strokers

Doesn't look promising... I'd be looking at a ProStroke kit...

Good choice mate :spoton:

As RED says in his signature: 'The bad taste of poor quality remains long after the sweet taste of low price is gone'. Or something along those lines anyway...

Better off paying a bit more and getting a good, proven product than buying a cheap shit one and replacing it anyway.
