HH56 brings up a good point in that the Packard clutch disc springs being important to smooth clutch operation. I would have your disc relined, if it is in good shape other than worn lining. If not, you can get one from one of the Packard parts suppliers or just as likely get one from a parts house that will serve you well. Some years of Chevrolet and GMC had the same transmission input shaft spline design as your Packard, and will fit. Your Packard uses a "Long" type pressure plate. This type was used on many makes especially FoMoCo products and should be easy to get one from a NAPA or other parts store. The release bearing is special and you will need to go to one of the usual Packard parts suppliers for one as I doubt the usual parts stores will have one. Don't know about the pilot bearing, but think it should be generally available. A clutch job on one of these Packards is a relatively straight forward job and should not break the bank to get it done.
