[Tigers] Clutch Bearing for 302

[Ron Fraser]

Brian
	This is a good example of needing to know the block casting # and
the casting date code which are just above the starter and the assembly date
stamped into the block in front of the left head.   You also need to know
what parts are from where, detail really count here.

	The 302 is a 6 bolt block and requires the bell housing and parts
from the 6 bolt configuration.  The early clutch fork is 9 1/4" long, the
later clutch fork is 10 1/2" long; you need the longer one.

	I see a couple different hubs and bearings listed but no dimensions
given.

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
