| Is there a difference between a throwout bearing for a long pressure plate versus one for a diaphragm pressure plate?

| | Charlie If you are referring to a 3 finger pressure plate as a long finger, yes there is, A 3 finger takes a bearing with a semi flat face where a diaphragm style uses a rounder face bearing. or that is the way it was in the old days T M

| For my ’55 with a 1963 T-85 overdrive, I purchased the 1963 FE (352/390) throwout bearing that was originally designed for use with a long finger style pressure plate and used it on a diaphragm pressure plate instead. At the time, I was just making sure that the depth of the throwout bearing was adequate and the attachment to the Y fork fit. Works fine and never gave a thought to there being a possible difference. Well over 100K miles on the setup.

| Cool. I guess I'll just use the bearing I already have, then. Thanks. I'm picking up the FMS Tremec T5 this weekend.
