Question about throwout bearing install
I am to the point of getting everything ready for re-installation of my trans. It has been a long long time sense I have messed with this,and can't remember which direction the "nub" or "stop" on the bearing is supposed to face. Should it face toward the fork or away from it? Just thinking about it, I would say toward the fork,but I am second guessing myself here.The assembly manual is not clear on this point. Any one?

Thanks, I do know how it works,but the groove for the fork has a spot that protrudes out, kind of pointed. I am not real sure which way to point it, toward the fork or away from the fork. So this is the area I am talking about, should it be like you see it here in the pictures or pointed the other way toward the fork?

Do you get what I'm asking ? If not let me know.

I understand what you're asking and I don't really think it matters. As you said, the raised bump is simply a stop so the center of the bearing won't spin.
Looks like the old one has some wear marks on it. maybe you can look at those and decypher how it was installed before.

In the one picture it looks like you have the TO bearing clip over top of the rear edge of the TO bearing. This is not correct. The clip and bent over part of the fork all go unto the groove. The bearing must pivot on the fork.... take it from someone who is on this road!

So do you agree that the "stop" can go ether way?

As I said I prefer not to use a TO bearing with a stop. My first attempt with my project car I used the one with the stop. I never saw or used this type before but figured it was the latest and greatest thing so why not give it a try.... When I had to take everything apart the TO bearing was jammed in the fork pretty tightly because of that raised stop. I had to pry it loose with a screw driver. While it may have been fine I had so many unknowns that I decided to use the TO without the stop as i was familiar with this type and never had a problem.

As stated above, the entire ends of the fork, including the spring clips, go into the groove of the t.o. bearing. When done that way, you whould have clearance in the groove to wiggle the bearing on the fork so it stays straight on the tranny nose and contacts the pressure plate fingers straight and level, while the fork is changing its angle with its travel.
