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.

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.
