Default Re: Looking for a Particular T5 Thread

If it's of any help, my setup is like that pic, but I use a Falcon throwout bearing with a curved face to suit the diaphragm fingers on my clutch. I started out with the flat bearing but it never worked very well with the diaphragm clutch. The carrier has a Teflon sleeve riveted in to take up the difference in retainer snout diameters.

38Bill - that is the pic I was looking for - thank you!

Bassman - I am using an early 90s diaphragm 10.5" p-plate and the same/similar t-out bearing to match the p-plate. I want to do exactly what 38Bill has done.

What I need to know from either one of you is what is the working distance between the diaphram p-plate fingers and the front face of the t-out bearing when the clutch is not engaged or not in use? This way I know how far back/forward the t-out bearing needs to reside in the carrier?
Thank you guys ....
