Clois-

First, my symptoms were that when depressing my clutch pedal, I couldn't shift into or out of any gears, although the clutch pressure felt appropriate. We did end up having to pull the trans and I recall that the actual bearing itself was protruding out very little. We did not think it was enough, but apparently it was. I guess that the amount of space it was protruding takes away from the distance needed to depress the clutch. I think we just used our foot power to make sure it was all the way in. You can use an airhose to shoot through the line to have it come out all the way to see how far it does protrude. But that was the answer. Just make sure you follow the measurements provided, which sounds like you have. If this is a McCleod bearing, they have a tech line you can call during certain hours of the day. They're very helpful. If you need the number, let me know and I'll try to dig it up. Before pulling the trans, I would talk with them first just to make sure theres not something else you're missing.

Regarding L.A. Exotics and B&B, I purchased my Cobra from a guy that said it was 70% completed. Actually, it was so poorly done, we had to pull everything apart and put everything back together again. Thats when I met Bryan Anderson and he was extremely helpful in letting me come down to his place of business, take pictures of how things were put together, gave me alot of advise and information and he did some fitting of doors and trunk lid for me. Since budget was always focused on, Bryan had made up these wheels to look like Halibrands. They are a two piece wheel, steel with an aluminum center piece held on with a knock off. I had these polished and even though I always wanted and periodically consider Halibrands for authenticity, I love the look of these wheels.

Good Luck on your T/O bearing. I've had mine on for about 9 years with no maintenance and it works just fine.

I replied to your email, but AOL says no known member.

Thanks,
