Does it matter whether I have a CD or a JK transmission?

No. CD and JK adapter plates interchange freely. The 350Z uses the CD009 while the 370Z, G37 and later G35 use the JK. The only ASE product where the distinction matters is the front mount shifter.

Can I use a 350Z clutch with a 370Z transmission?

Yes. The clutch kits are the same for this conversion. Only the release bearing differs between them, and that bearing is not used here because the conversion runs the T56 bearing instead.

How do I identify my bell housing J-code?

It is stamped into the casting of your original Toyota A340 automatic bell housing. A J3 plate can be requested after ordering at the same price.

Is a driveshaft included?

No. Driveshafts are ordered separately. Steel and aluminum are both built on 3 inch tube, and carbon is also offered.

What do I need to supply myself?

The bell housing from an automatic 2JZ in J1, J2 or J3, and on the base kit the GM T56 slave cylinder.

What are the torque specs for the adapter plate and bell housing?

Adapter plate countersunk bolts torque to 30 ft-lb and the bell housing torques to 40 ft-lb. Both are engraved on the bottom of the plate.

Should I use thread locker on the adapter plate bolts?

No. The countersunk bolts are small and only torque to 30 ft-lb, so aggressive thread locker means stripping the heads the next time the plate comes off for service.

Do I need to cut the spud?

No. The recess on the ASE plate is machined deep enough to clear it. This was addressed by a design change years ago, but the old advice still circulates.

Does the bell housing need notching?

Only on the J3. The J3 plate is thinner because the J3 transmission is deeper, which leaves less vertical height and causes the clutch lines to interfere. J1 and J2 plates are thicker and need no notching.

Q: Which slave cylinder does this kit use?

The T56 99 Camaro slave cylinder, installed fully compressed against the pressure plate fingers with no preload. Install it before bolting the bell housing to the adapter plate, because afterwards the lines cannot be routed.

Identifying your bell housing — J1, J2 or J3

The J-code refers to the Toyota A340 automatic bell housing and is stamped into the casting of your original automatic bell housing. A J3 plate can be requested after ordering at the same price.

If you run a J3, note the bell housing must be notched for clutch line clearance — the J3 plate is thinner because the J3 transmission is deeper. J1 and J2 do not require this.

CD or JK transmission?

Either works — CD and JK adapter plates interchange freely. The 350Z uses the CD009; the 370Z, G37 and later G35 use the JK. The only ASE product where the distinction matters is the front mount shifter.

Slave cylinder

Uses the T56 99 Camaro slave cylinder for correct throw, installed fully compressed against the pressure plate fingers with no preload. Install it before bolting the bell housing to the plate — afterwards the lines cannot be routed.

Clutch note

350Z and 370Z clutch kits are the same for this conversion — only the release bearing differs, and that bearing is not used here because the conversion runs the T56 bearing instead.
