Clutch

Post by Classiccars »

As probably needing to fit a new clutch part number supplied by club thanks.I believe I will need yo change the clutch release bearing as possible oil contamination same as the clutch plate.As it is an hydrolic clutch 1275 engine and ford type 9 gearbox would it be that I need the more expensive hydrolic thrust bearing costing around £80 thanks.

Only if the clutch release bearing is a carbon thrust type would you need to change the oil contaminated release bearing.
The ball bearing type release bearing is not effected by oil contamination.
Look through the unused hole in the side of the conversion bell housing and you should be able to see what type of release bearing is fitted.
