Wanted: 77' Bombardier Bombi clutch assembly specs / source for parts + Manual vs. Automatic swap out?!

[Caribou]

Anyone have Bombi 77' clutch assembly (pressure disc / release plate / TO bearing specs and a known source handy that have done a clutch replacement? Also was thinking now may be the time to THINK about a swap out on manual trans to automatic... thoughts / experience? Being relatively new to this I'm seeing that some have swapped engine plus automatic trans as single upgrade... what am I getting myself into if I venture this fork in the road?!

Hi Caribou

I’ve attached a picture of the pressure plate (there is a printed number on it) along with a throw out bearing. I‘m not sure where to get Bombi parts as we lost Boggie, owner of MN Outdoors this past year (wonderful man) except the OEM, Prinoth (which bought out the Bombardier snowcat line).

I didn’t have a picture of the new clutch plate, but I had one with a printed number on it when disassembling.

Here’s a few pics out of the 1980 Bombi parts manual:
