#79233, "Clutch Release Bearing/Fork (throughout bearing)"


          

I have a question I have a modified clutchmasters stage 3 clutch but anyway the fork keeps breaking a tab off the clutch release bearing... I was wondering if there was an aftermarket application for this or if anyone else is having this problem? I have lsd and fully built tranny and have lightened flywheel from clutchmasters also... but I don't know if that has anything to do with it...
anyway you all know how most after market clutches make kind of a squaking or chirping alittle... mine does that too but sometimes right as its switching to a load and just before you fully release the clutch it will sometimes make a grinding noise because it breaks the tabs off this bearing its done it twice now so I Was just wondering if anyone had any ideas before I go for a third time?
Thanks, Nick... Sandy Utah..

This is just a shot in the dark but it your flywheel is lightedned that peobably machined it down making the clutch closer to the motor putting a greater angl on the release fork / throwout bearing. Have you tried a OEM one? I thnik the tabs are metal compared to plastic.

best time so far 14.3 @ 101.1mph(no traction)

Well the the stock tabs on the bearing are metal and thats the one it broke off and if its any smaller its a tenth or less I would imagine not much different from stock on the flywheel... the tabs are just really small but they are metal.

I'm not sure what I want to do anyways... this engine I have in right now is comming out of my car soon to put my other engine in that is just about to come out of the machine shop... so I will be back in there then and was thinking I could replace it then when I have my whole engine out...

also I will be selling the engine I'm taking out now 420a.... you could use it as a core for a new rebuild if anyone is reading this that is interested let me know.

Thanks Nick
