Throwout bearing
Post by robo on Apr 17, 2006, 8:31pm

I've got my 350 mated to the stock tranny using Bob's conversion kit. It's got a 12" clutch and alum bellhousing. Tons of power, but I'm pretty sure the throwout bearing is spinning (engaging clutch) all the time. If I adjust the linkage for some gap as should be, I don't have enough movement to fully engage the pressure plate/clutch to shift gears. So I'm running zero gap to get enough throwout.

My question is, how long will my throwout bearing last this way? I'm thinking I would need a longer GM throwout bearing to get the correct geometry, right? Or a longer fork?
