Well, if you're going to pull it out... In that thread that we both reference, the single most important post is on the fourth page and it is by
stallion112, who works in the TOB industry. He clearly explains the difference between "standard" and "self aligning" throw out bearings. The latter require just a bit of preload. My FM 614038 is clearly described as a "sealed and self aligning" TOB. I can not tell if your McLeod is self-aligning or not. I do not know why they even make "standard" TOBs anymore, but that choice, as opposed to "self aligning," is one of the filter choices on Summit Racing and other parts warehouses. Anyway, that's the Cliff Notes version of the difference.
