[Spridgets] Clutch

[crusaderchuck55 at aol.com]

That was kinda what I was looking for in asking what failed and how did it fail.?? ??I have seen bent or misaligned throwout bearing forks placing the throwout bearing slightly offset on the pressure plate , which will cause a premature failure.?? ??I do have a "show-N-tell" failed throwout bearing that the casting cracked , not the graphite!ChuckSent from my LG Mobile------ Original message------From: Michael MacLeanDate: Thu, Jun 11, 2020 10:16 PMTo: Ron Soave via Spridgets;KURT GUERDRUM;crusaderchuck55 at aol.com;Cc: Subject:Re: [Spridgets] Clutch
        Has anyone asked if Kurt knows how to use a carbon throw out bearing clutch??? Is he rising the clutch??? Does he keep it in at the traffic light??? Those ancient carbon throw out bearings were only meant for momentary use.?? Just to change gears and then immediately let out again.?? These are not like a Japanese stick shift car with a roller throw out bearing.?? I might be talking out of my a**, but maybe Kurt is new to British cars.Mike MacLean

    Agreed on the manufacturing sources.??Also quite curious about what component failed and how did it fail.????ChuckSent from my LG Mobile------ Original message------From: Ron Soave via SpridgetsDate: Thu, Jun 11, 2020 6:49 PMTo: KURT GUERDRUM;Cc: spridgets at autox.team.net;Subject:Re: [Spridgets] ClutchThey???re all coming from the same places.

I see BUgeye Guy sells a kit for about twice the price of Mossand I???d be happy to pay it if its worth it.   I would appreciate any advice and guidance before I waste any more money.
