Reply to "clutch Release bearing"

Save yourself a LOT of expensive grief in piecing a clutch system together, and simply call your favorite Pantera parts vendor for replacement(s). The Pantera clutch is fitted into a very tight-fitting enclosure, so Mustang parts don't fit without modifications, and many clutch covers (the part your throwout contacts) sold as 'racing' or 'heavy-duty' are far too stiff for comfortable street driving. The throwout bearing is a std part but there are two slightly different bore sizes for the two different iron bearing carriers; choosing the wrong one will cause unexplained rattles to come from your bellhousing. Finally, for what its worth, I ALWAYS change the pilot bushing when the clutch is being worked on- and correct 351C bushings are not always available. 'Correct' bushings will NOT be magnetic; cheap Far-East magnetic bushings will wear the nose of a ZF shaft and you do NOT want to know the replacement cost of one of those beauties!
