[Tigers] Clutch Bearing for 302

[Brian Glenn]

Cullen,
 
It is the throwout bearing that is "too short".  Apparently there are at least
three separated sizes.
 
Currently, the fork cannot move far enough to disengage the clutch.  The
pushrod is sufficiently long (based on earlier online discussions). 
 
I'm not sure of the manufacture date on the 302 (though I believe it is an
older model), but I have a standard toploader that came with the car (Mk1A). 
Hope this helps.
 
Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian, Do you know if he's talking about the throwout bearing or the
pilot bearing? (Probably throwout)...what year approximate motor and
transmission are you running?

I'm installing a 302 in one of my Tigers. My mechanic tells me that the
clutch
bearing is to short. I'm not very familiar with variations in the clutch
assembly and would appreciate some guidance.

Thanks,
Brian
