Replace throw-out bearing...Tremec
The throw-out bearing that came with my new Tremec 5-speed for the '64 is bad, so I need to replace it - after maybe, 300 miles. (Of course, I couldn't hear it until I had the body back on and started actually shifting the car.) I hate this, everything is brand new with no scratches - yet...
I know the Tremec is larger than the Muncie, so will it be easier for me to pull the engine and leave the transmission in the car, or will I need to pull the transmission, too?
Thx,
Dave

I supported the bell housing (muncie) with wood, removed the radiator and I could spin the engine in any direction after it was pulled.
So if it were me, I would leave the transmission in. Just use an engine leveler on your hoist.
You will need a clutch plate alignment spline if you put too much weight on the clutch plate as you drag it out but I have pulled many an engine without transmission.. you may need to wobble the engine a bit to get it in

I've been pondering that myself. I think it's because I painted the engine Ford Red. Though, when the clutch pedal is pushed down, the t/o bearing chirps like crazy - only when pushing on the clutch pedal.
Thanks for the input guys. I'm going to try the side approach, though I'll remove the hood.
