Hi Jay,  it is bonafide Gunst bearing and Im still a little perplexed as 
to why it didnt work.  All parts in question were new including shaft, 
pin, and bushings.  Maybe a bent friction plate?  Others have had no 
problem.   I would have preferred the Sachs unit as it did feel lighter 
on the clutch foot, but the B and B unit feels about the same as the 
laycock that came out.  Its working now and really would hate to pull it 
again although Im getting really good at it:)   John
