I'M GETTING READY TO INSTALL A 3 SPEED OVERDRIVE UNIT IN MY 56 RANCH WAGON WITH A T-BIRD 292 MOTOR . SO I PLAN ON REPLACING THE CLUTCH AND THROW OUT BEARING WHEN I MAKE THE TRANS SWAP. WHERE CAN I PURCHASE QUALITY REPLACEMENT PARTS? ALSO I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS AN 11" CLUTCH.. ANY HELP TO DIRECT ME WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED.

if you have a 292 in a t bird should have a flywheel drilled and taped for an 11 inch pressure plate the throw out bearing should be available at most auto parts stores there are 2 parts for the pilot bushing a bronze bushing or timken bearing number tmk 203ff been restoring rancheros for thirty years hope this helps
according to HOLLANDER INTERCHANGE MANUAL the 272 and 292 engines used a 10 in clutch. the 312 and some heavy duty applications used the 11 in clutch. there is a possibility that under extreme conditions the clutch could slip in overdrive with 10 in clutch.
