Do I need dowels to hold on clutch?

[John510]

My new RAM twin disc with flywheel did not come with any dowels to hold the clutch onto the flywheel.

Am I missing them or do I not need them? If you have a RAM clutch please respond.

Thanks

I would not put any clutch on without those dowel pins. They are there to center the pressure plate which you just wont be able to do with the bolts alone. Some of the better Ace Hardware stores have a selection of them in their nut and bolt section, you might get lucky and find the right size there if you need them right away. Napa maybe too.

YES you need the dowels They center the pressure plate

Actually according to RAM the 9.5 twin disc does not use the dowels on a T56 application.

Just heard back from the tech guy this morning.

Wow, well you learn something every day. Does it use some kind of special bolt then to center the thing or what do they use?

I was thinking it was a Muncie transmission

there are studs to line up the floater plate then the pressure plate bolts to that.
