10 spline is 5 speed, 26 spline is 6 speed. I recommend the Exedy Mach 400 for stock, Mach 500 for up to about 550 hp. Past that, McLeod RST and RXT. You'll get a range of recommendations, but Exedy is a solid clutch and although there have been some problems, it is also the most bought clutch so as a percent of sales the complaints are actually really low.

Flywheel.
Resurface if not too bad. Replace if it is.
Measure for shim with clutch and bellhousing installed.

Love my McLeod RST... Would totally recommend that clutch.

What others said... 10-spline is 5-speed, 26-spline is for 6-Speed.

Get a flywheel and clutch package and you won't have any issues ime. I used spec billet aluminum flywheel with steel insert and their clutch, no shims, no bs, worked flawlessly. The stage 2 feels just like stock but will hold a lot more torque, 520 ft lbs.

Cam I add a question?

With that Exedy Clutch, what lightweight flywheel would y'all get?
