my w100 needs a new clutch. I want to stay with the 3 finger design that is there now. What about the McLeod 260111 or 260811, both diaphragm design. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
 
What do you do with the truck ? I tried looking up the part numbers you gave and I only came up with the disks . Are you also thinking of swapping the three finger pressure plate to a diaphragm style for a lighter peddle feel ?
 
Switching to a diaphragm would me my last resort. I prefer to stay with the 3 finger. The peddle feel is fine. I will continue my research. I need a 10 spline clutch for my 318 poly. My only other option is more expensive,ie, go with an NP435 tranny which has a 23 spline input shaft. As before, any recommendations for a 10 spline clutch???

I drive the truck almost daily during winter. I do sometimes tow a trailer, and seldom go offroad. Any ideas for a 10 spline clutch??
 
The only reason why I had asked about the diaphragm style pressure plate is because you had mentioned it in your original post . Personally I'd keep the borg & beck style ( three finger ) myself . What transmission do you have in the truck ? I've tried doing some research and everything comes up with a 23 spline for your application . Do you or have you had the transmission out ? Is that why you know it's a 10 spline ? I know some of the old GM trucks had a 10 spline disc and I believe those transmissions bolted up to the Dodge bell housings . Could someone have done that ?

I'm going to stay with the borg & beck. I called HR Clutch upon recommendation from another forum, and they said they have one for me. I'll order it Monday. I have also done lots of research on the clutch and have come up with the same as you. It's got a 318 poly with a np420 tranny with a 10 spline input shaft and a divorced transfer case(np201). Never had the trans out.
 
Sorry I couldn't have been more help . The only other thing I could have suggested is to have one made . Back in my racing days I used to go to a place here in Boston , I think it was called Boston Clutch , and they could make me up anything I wanted . I would assume you would have a place like that in your area as well .
