When you get it apart check the name on throwout bearing...

Might say "Aetna" there are a bunch of those still around at swap meets, Ebay and such.

They were recalled many years ago ... after vendors found many failures.

Considering the amount labor involved in replacing the T.O. bearing this is a good reason to buy parts from a known dealer to avoid some of the junk at swap meets!!
