Well I am up tp my knees in grease and rust. Pulled the 3J engine and started cleaning. New clutch coming from General Gear but now I have the flywheel clean enough to see all the pits in the clutch teeth in the flywheel and it does not look good. Anyone have an extra 4B3176 flywheel?
Try Yellow Iron Salvage 1-573-378-6407 , located central MO , they might have one

Or you can do what I did and picked up a new ring gear (I think from GG) and put that on.
It is not the outer ring gear but the inner gear mesh for the clutch fiber plate that is rusted and pitted.
The flywheel just has the perfect ledge to hold water and rust away.
