Throwout Bearings

[sogtx]

Anyone well versed on throwout bearings ?

I have always usually used an Aetna bearing.
I saw a Mcleod on Amazon that seemed reasonable . The image even showed a grease zerk / I figured it was top notch -
Its snugger than the Aetna
But not sure if its equal
It looks smaller in diameter than others .

Mcleoud is stamped China .
the mcleod diameter is smaller on the bearing surface .
Wwyd ??

Bearing surface only has to contact the fingers of the PP. Anything else is a waste. I suppose the zerk would be handy if you have a stock bellhousing with a removable dust shield but if you have a scattershield the zerk is useless.

Small one is fine.

Id fine one that wasn’t made of chinesium. Removing and reinstalling trans is to much work just to replace throwout bearing.
