Well I can confirm that a 2nd gen clutch fits in a gen 1 engine. It's a straight swap if any body else feels the need to do it. The only tight spot is the 2nd gen clutch has 3 protrusions on its out side that only just fit through the clutch cover hole. If you slide the body on to the input shaft using the centre bush for alignment and use a soft drift to tap the clutch body into the hole. Once the body is aligned in the hole slide the centre bush out. This will allow some space for the body to move as you as you tap it the rest of the way through. Once the protrusions are through the clutch body just needs jiggling to align the primary gears.
I haven't done the final adjustment on the clutch cable yet to a lack of daylight, this will have to wait until next Saturnday when I will next get to see daylight.
