So last easter I made the (questionable) decision to order a tko500 kit from kiesler for my firebird. Upon arrival I determined that my old saginaw four-speed's input shaft was a different spline from the new tko. I swapped to a centerforce dual-friction (another questionable decision in retrospect, I know) and decided to go ahead and throw in their throwout bearing too.
Well, something like 900 miles later, the bearing is shot. Can you guys make any reccomendations towards a nicer, more reliable throwout bearing? It seems like mcleod is the hot ticket these days...
what about clutch forks? I can't seem to find a nice aftermarket fork anywhere....
by the way, just out of curiosity, since I always like to improve instead of just repair...what all would it take to switch to a hydraulic setup instead?
thanks a ton, guys
