Yes but it will slip easier/sooner.
Pray tell what is wrong with the old one?

your new clutch is the newest version for the 066/660. lighter shoes engage at a higher RPM and springs with an added coil. i like the old one better when they are new but they suck when they get worn cause you pretty well gotta idle the saw down to 2400 to stop the chain from spinning and sometimes lower. replacing the springs hardly help since the shoes where the spring connect wear a groove making new springs pretty well pointless. either work fine. wish stihl could come up with something as tough as the husky 390 clutches. it's about the only thing weaker about them compared to the 390 though lol
Okay thanks sweet guys I didn't know if I should take it back to the dealership or not I paid $120 for it so I just wanted to make sure that it's the right one. It's funny how they say that they're making things lighter instead of saying we're cutting on costs as I get older these things are annoying me more and more. What's the point of paying top dollar. The holes on my old clutch are starting to elongate so I figured it was time to purchase a new one. I think I will just find replacement shoes for my old one
$120 !!!! Yikes!
I'll continue to buy new springs and/or shoes as long as the spider isn't broke.

just so everyone knows, the hutzl copies of the new version clutch work just fine for way less $. i got a few buddies with alot of hours on them. even the springs hold up and if you get a dud where the springs go for **** you can just install OEM springs. so far i haven't seen the spring that come on then **** up though.
