Hi all

I was wondering if anyone here can tell me what the part number is for the Timken clutch throw out bearing. This is the "good" one.

Cheers
Steve

HHmmnn I though this would be easy :?

But Karkraft just list 7W 5/8 Flat faced Clutch Thrust release, Minisport also show Timken picture, and list 7W 5/8.

I think the I may have got my numbers crossed :oops: 7W is the non timken type, reputedly lesser quality?

3W 5/8 is the Timken one

It is funny - I had my old engine do 280k on one(!)of those crappy cheapo throw out bearings...must have been all that oil mist being thrown around inside the clutch housing :lol:

However, saying this, I broke 3 x clutch pedal clevis pins!!!! in 3 months. Go figure that one!

Hooroo
