Throwout Bearing
After 16,000 miles, the throwout bearing in the Centerforce clutch disintegrated. It did not wear out-of-round, it actually broke apart, with some peripheral damage to the clutch assembly. I'm running a 351 Windsor, stock displacement, prepared by Performance Engineering.
I have some information and tips on removing the transmission by lifting it up and out from the top of SPO 1862. Can you folks offer any advice on repair and re-assembly of the clutch? Anything to look for in the way of abnormal wear that might have contributed to the failure? Or anything that might be susceptible to damage when the bearing came apart?
