Throwout Bearing Help
I have never felt I had the correct bearing in the car from the start. I had to use an extra long ball stud with the stock belhousing in order to get the clutch linkage to work properly. It worked fine then. I now have installed a blow shield with an adjustable ball stud and am having problems getting the clutch linkage to work properly. I am just not getting enough throw to get teh clutch to disengage. The fork ir right up against the housing in the full release position now so there is no more adjustment left. I measured the total length of the bearing and it is 1.220 inches. It seems to be to short. If I move the ball stud in it just pushes the fork up against the housing. If I go the other way it just gets looser and almost no clutch engagement. Do I need a longer bearing?

Re: Throwout Bearing Help (Gordonm)
Forget this thread. Brain fart from laying under the car to long. I was able to adjust it out with the linkage and ball stud. Sometimes you just have to walk away and come back to them. :crazy:
