Good point, I did not. I assumed it was good because the car has 37k on it. Which bearing do you think I should go with, tapered or regular?

Awesome tips guys, thank you all so much. I guess if the flywheel doesn't rock up and down, I'll just leave it on! I am curious to see if that's the source of some nasty clutch chatter that happens ... NAPA has two throwout bearings available. One has tapered edges, "self-centering." Any...

The needle bearing sounded like a nice upgrade. I'm curious to check the condition of that bushing now. I didn't even know about it before! I suppose I'll pry (with caution) on the flywheel to see if it has axial play. To change the bushing I guess it's easy with the flywheel off?

Fantastic, thank you for clearing that up. When I first did the clutch I decided against touching the rear main seal. I presume, if I change the pilot bushing to a needle bearing, I'll have to get a new rear main seal as well, correct? Can I change all this without dropping the oil pan?

Perhaps I had insufficient throwout bearing freeplay. Well, the trans removal should be quicker this time! Hahaha. The spring on the release fork is still present for that reason. The clutch pedal return spring had to go, though. It was almost impossible to drive the car with it on. It must not...

Haha I am certainly keeping that spring. Currently it hangs on the wall @ my bench @ work. I should remove the pilot bushing retainer & inspect the bearing, right? RTV it closed & proceed?

Glad to hear that the spring should be removed. That over center spring was way too huge. NAPA shows two release bearings, both are mated to the cast iron piece the throwout arm contacts. They differ in that one is self-centering - the picture shows a taper to the bearing face. I'll have to...

Hello all, I have a 1966 Belvedere II, 273, 3spd manual. The old throwout bearing failed on a Sachs clutch, so I put a new clutch and throwout bearing in, from McLeod. Well, this bearing is failing after 300 mi. This clutch was SO jumpy, so I removed the return spring inside the cab. The pedal...

Should I push in as well as twist?

That's okay, thanks for the input!

Hello all. My recently acquired 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II has a horn removal issue! On this (fantastic) forum I read the horn ring is removed by pushing in and turning. I think my horn ring mount is damaged judging by its freeplay. Horn ring freeplay on youtube. How shall I proceed? Thank you...
