Kirk,
While examining the remains is there any indication that the T.O. bearing may
not be running concentric with the clutch ? I am thinking about a potential
misalignment of the fork. I've seen several bent forks and had to compare them
to know what was correct. A smooth case fork has the pivot shifted so that the
bearing would be off center, but I don't know if it could be installed in a
rib case trans. Just thinking out loud.

Once again my T Bearing has burned out.  This time after a good year of
driving the car around town.  This is my turd T Bearing to fall apart before
it's time . . and yes I have checked the rod length on my slave cyl per
measurements that Frank gave me a long while ago.  I am going to check it
again just in case I did not cut it short enough. .  but think it should be
right on and not the problem.

I am wondering who sells a good quality bearing type throwout bearing
instead of going back to the carbon type unit?   I am using a Rib Case.

Thanks,

Kirk
