What T5 do you have?

The TVR sourced Tremac T5 has different spline size to the Cosworth BW T5.

I had the same problem when I swapped from a TVR V8 to an SD1 V8 (temporary reason). I had to use the TVR clutch which is an AP clutch. Therefore you'll need an AP clutch for your 4.6. I would guess you will also need the whole assembly too and may be a bit pricey from TVR sources and as I want to change my plates I was going to try a motor factors but have not done so yet.

There were several numbers on my AP clutch plate but nothing seemed obvious as a part number but it's in my car at the mo so I cannot really read them off at the moment, sorry.

For what it's worth I'm using a CP2394-14 with CP2346-4 from AP which is a 9.5" setup on SD1 (I think) flywheel. Probably overkill in a light car like my Westfield. I think I could probably get away with a 'brown spring' version, my is the 'green spring'. But those part numbers are for the Cosworth T5 box spline, you may need a different plate.

You will need to establish which flywheel you are using.
Range Rover or SD1 or TVR etc etc etc
