I have a Dash 1 trans (could be 1.5) in my early 71. Just got it all together and could not get the clutch to allow me to shift into first gear with the car running. I checked to be sure it was not the slave or clutch master cyl. Had the standard amount of throw, but I could feel that it was not engauging the clutch diaphragm.
I pulled the trans axle and feel that maybe I have the wrong throw out bearing.
There is a lot of slop on the sleeve that covers the out put shaft, and just does not seem to fit right.
The numbers on the throw out bearing are FM Mex (Federal Mogal Mexico) 1825 - 12 then DB.
I believe the clutch is a Centerforce diaphragm type, see pics.
Any idea if I should be using a different throw out bearing?
