Reply to "Mangusta Clutch Help please!..."

Paolo, most if not all Mangustas have a 1-1/16"- 12-spline clutch disc (Chevrolet size) while all Panteras use a 1-1/8"-12-spline clutch disc (Ford size). So the slightly larger Pantera disc WILL fit on the Mangusta but will be a sloppy, noisy fit.

The steel extended pilot bushing support is vital to allow the ZF input shaft nose to enter the pilot bushing. Very early pushbutton Panteras use the same transmission & clutch disc as the Mangusta, but not the same differential case, making for confusion on the subject. You may have trouble removing the bushing or bearing (either will work) from inside the adapter but it's well worth the trouble to do so. I modified a couple of the adapters to allow small screws to be used to force the bearing out from the backside, once removed from the crankshaft. I also drill thru and thread the inside of the adapter to allow a larger screw to force the adapter out of the crank hole. Good luck- J DeRyke
