Reply to "McLeod Adjustable Throw Out Bearing - How Much Free Play"

There are special rounded-surface throwout bearings used with some diaphragm clutches. Due to the design, if a normal flat-face throwout is used on a straight-arm diaphragm clutch, you can get a 'catch' in the clutch feel during shifting that bothers some people. The bearing needs to match the clutch type.

I've experienced the "catch" Jack mentioned above and it was so miserable, IMO, that I removed the offending PP without even driving the car with it! That was a SPEC diaphragm pressure plate and it was incompatible with my Mcleod hydraulic (flat faced) T/O bearing. I replaced the PP with a Mcleod diaphragm unit that had curved fingers and the release action was then perfect.

FYI, the part # Mcleod tech recommended (# 75212) does have curved fingers, so it will work with their Pantera specific, flat faced T/O bearing (# 16525).
