1949 Plymouth clutch throwout bearing assembly

[49 Special Deluxe]

Hi all

 

I have just inspected my 1949 Plymouth clutch throwout bearing assembly and there is a broken tab.

The part number on it reads 86286. I have conducted a search in the internet but the other Plymouth clutch throwout bearing assemblies look longer.

Just wondering is it safe to use or should I try and find another one?

 

I will remove and change the actual bearing.

 

My 1949 is an Australian delivered P18 3 speed.

Since it is broken, toss it. It presses the clutch plate AWAY from the fly wheel, broken the plate will not be pressed evenly. IMHO

Thanks mate. Do you know where another one can be sourced from?

Here is the information that you need to get the correct assembly and or bearing, This was taken from my Federal Clutch release catalog.

Open up the attached document.

Bought the whole deal ready to rock. Ended up with a spare. Actually, I will be ending up with quite a few parts that I don't want or need. Not sure where I should post them but I'd like to give them away for the cost of shipping. Original 3 speed, driveline, a complete rear end, intake and exhaust manifolds. I will be at the big Turlock swap meet in January too if anybody else is going. I'm willing to hold parts if somebody needs anything I have.
