Clutch-throwout bearings
Doing some planning for the engine reinstallation. What do you guys recommend for the clutch-throwout bearing? Its going in a 454 four speed Vette...the engine will be putting out a little under 400hp. The existing clutch doesn't look too bad, maybe measure it and reinstall?
Thanks

The throw out bearing that came with my RAM clutch was made in China. While I was fitting it to the clutch fork, the rear ring section of the bearing popped off. The ring was not swedged on well enough and the Speed Shop where I bought the clutch was aware of the problem.
The GM bearing is avaliable - #15680264
I picked up a "Made in USA", National #614018 for about $19 at Advanced Auto.
Make sure the clutch fork/spring is in good shape.
