<VV> More About Early Throwout Bearings

[David V. Clamp]

Snip----------------------
According to the Clarks catalog, the height listed in the shop manual is 1 
7/8 inch.  The replacement is listed at 1 5/16 inch.  That is a difference 
of 9/16 inch.  That seems like a lot to me.

Charles,

Actually, Clark's is stating that they believe the shop manual figures are
wrong. They've sold TO bearings for years and haven't had a problem with the
heights they list. 

If you have a 1-5/16" TO bearing and an early style pressure plate and
flywheel, you have the correct TO bearing. I checked Corvair Underground's
catalog as well, but they don't specify the heights. Maybe a good thing
since the shop manual heights seem to be a source of confusion. Do keep in
mind that the parts can't be mixed together. You need either all LM parts,
or all EM parts.
