You have got it. The original throw out bearing housing matched to the original pressure plate or the replacement bearing housing with a pressure plate sized to fit it.
To check sizes, lay both pressure plates on a flat surface side by side and measure the difference in hight to the diaphragm fingers. The shorter carrier matches the "thicker" pressure plate and vice versa. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Andrews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, 30 August 2002 13:52 PM Subject: RE: 240Z clutch backwards?!?! > Thanks for that guys.
