Welp, after listening to my clunking, squealing, and vibrating TO bearing for six months (longer actually) I've determined that it's about time. I decided to install the replacement one that I've had keeping my replacement King Cobra clutch company for the better part of two years on my closet floor. Might be done today, but more likely tomorrow. I'll post pics of the old one when I get a chance.

Hopefully, the new clutch and TO bearing will fix the vibration that I've felt at speed as the clutch that I've been driving on for two years was a German Luk clutch. The old one isn't slipping, but the TO is toast and I'm not going to do the TO without doing the clutch and pilot bushing while the tranny's out. Wish me luck.

I'm short on time and facilities, so I'm sitting this one out and leaving it to Paul. He gets them all.

And yes, it's been sitting on my floor for two years. At least now I don't have to move it when I move to Orlando later this month. :D

Got a pilot bearing to go in with it? When I replaced my clutch a few years back (accompanying squealing and vibration) the pilot had been destroyed and the needle bearings were starting to "melt" into the crank.
