I had my local trany guy look into the clutches and he found out they are made special and do not enterchange with anything.he was pretty sure going in that ther were automatic trany clutchs but that wasn't the case.

A while back a guy that rebuilds berts had said something about motorcycle clutch discs out of some kind of honda work I'll try to look him up and get a part number.

I have also heard that they were Honda Motorcycle clutches.

They do look like Honda or bike plates. But I know what good bike clutch plates and steels cost. For any worth having you might as get the kits made for a Bert. I think there are some other small parts you may need. There are guys on here that sell them and they are close to my cost on bike clutches. I have a bike shop I run for extra racing cash.

1981-1985 hondamatic 3speed out of a civic. I paid about $30 for 5 steels and 6 clutches, but if your steels are good, no scorch marks or anything you do not have to replace them.

These clutches will not hold up as well as the OEM brinn/falcon/bert clutches. They do not have as much clutch material on them. I got about 15 races on mine before they need replaced. In the end, you probably dont save much money spending $30 every year, if you can get 3 years with OEM brinn clutches it comes out about the same.

The benefit is your inside your tranny every year and can inspect parts and bearings for wear.
