Or you can buy a throwout bearing carrier for a Sp*tf*ire from VB, press
on the bearing, put the tranny back in, and have the clutch slip like
mad. Pull and reinstall several times, then press bearing on too hard in
frustration, causing a minor bearing explosion. Then look real close and
see those boneheads sent a very early Spit bearing carrier (also GT6 I
believe) that is too long for a Spit 1500, causing the slippage. Mail
back to sender without so much as an apology from them, call a junkyard
in Oregon, and get right part for $12, shipping included.
Not bitter either. Plus it's fun 4 years later to still find the odd
throwout bearing ball in dark corners of the garage (usually next to a
stray "lift the dot" fastener).
