The RAM powergrip clutch for Pontiac comes with a throwout bearing and I am guessing it will be a short one just as the Centerforce one recommended. I am going to play around with the geometry and the adjustable pivot ball when it get here later this week. When I bought my eagle crank Dave as SD installed the pilot bearing himself before he shipped it. It was a roller bearing as shown above and not the needle bearing. trust he knows which is right as that is what he does, build Pontiac motors for a living. What is the part number and supplier for the long throwout bearing in case I do decide I need to get one of them? the pics above of the damaged throwout bearing look like some that I saw in a website showing what happens if the spring on the clutch fork ends up in the wrong position on the throwout bearing. could that be what caused that damage? kelly
