[alfa] Clutch Replacement

["Korolyshyn, Dan Mr. DAC DPW ENGR RESOURCE MGMT BR" <Dan.Korolyshyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

.....Finally, Braden also suggests replacing the "throwout bearing" at the
same
time when replacing the clutch.  I checked the IAP parts catalogue and they
list the following as transmission bearings:

- - the front input shaft bearing
- - the rear input shaft cage bearing
- - the front main shaft bearing
- - the center main shaft bearing
- - the rear main shaft bearing
- - the front lay shaft bearing
- - the rear lay shaft bearing

Perhaps the answer is obvious to most but which one of the above corresponds
to the "throwout bearing" that Braden is referring to?

Marc,

None of the above, the throwout bearing is not inside the trans and 
usually comes with the clutch and pressure plate when you purchase 
the *clutch kit* and yes, IMHO you should replace all three when 
doing a clutch job properly.
