Post by mrmach5 »

Question,
Anyone know if the 76-77 Borg Warner style starter clutch assembly would the same components on the GT550 and GT750 or different?
Thanks!

Very different. Take a look at the online parts diagram pics.

Bummer,
trying to replace my old style starter clutch on my 73 550GT with a 76-77 Borg Warner design. I see GT750 units pop up on e-bay periodically and was hoping they were the same. Guess I will just have to keep kick starting and be patient till one shows up.
Thanks

Service Bulletin GT-26 covers the GT550 starter clutch upgrade. http://www.ozebook.com/compendium/techb ... 022-26.pdf

They show up on eBay from time to time. Try to buy a complete clutch + starter clutch assembly if you can.
