hidden_hunter Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Hi guys, I'm wondering what the level of interchangeability is between the clutches and transmissions is between the 1926 and 1927 standard six. I know that the 25 and 26 are different but what about the 27? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 The flywheel seems to be the part that are different from 1926 to 1927,the clutch assembly have the same parts number.Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidden_hunter Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 There's a 27 clutch up for sale on ebay about 100km away that's pick up only http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1927-Standard-Buick-clutch-assembly-/291177459043?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43cb876d63It looks like its been sitting in a field for a while, would it be suitable and getting refinished? or is it to far gone and I should just get mine repaired.

ROD W Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Pull your clutch apart and see what it looks like. It doesn,t hurt to have a spare clutch and gear box. That clutch has five lined plates, see how many yours has. I thought 26 and 27 standards were the same.

Guest morerevsm3 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 the gearboxes are different from '26 to '27, clutch is interchangeable though, agree with having spares available, I have brand new linings for my '27 that I hope I never need, but they are there if I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidden_hunter Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Have you found they are 'reasonably' common here in Aus Alan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morerevsm3 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 yes, but getting harder to find, my father got my car in 1969, and took 7 years to restore it, finding vintage cars in paddocks wasn't too difficult then, you just don't see many now, so it is a matter of finding someone having one in a farm shed or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidden_hunter Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 ended up bidding on it and got it, was only $35 and about 1:30 drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morerevsm3 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 you don't want to pick up the water pump for me and post it? happy to pay for your trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidden_hunter Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 you don't want to pick up the water pump for me and post it? happy to pay for your troubleSure, don't mind doing that as long as you've already paid for the item. I assume given that you've already bought it you're happy with the condition etc, I don't really feel comfortable doing any more assessment of that looks like a water pump. So just to protect myself, if it's not as described or doesn't work don't blame me. It's a fairly heavy and awkward item, so you might want to get a auspost quote first to check you still want me to grab it while I'm there.
