Hopefully some advise please, I have had (13mths ago) a BA turbo flywheel, clutch and pressure plate fitted behind my Au, recently I ended up with no clutch which made changing gears rather difficult.I pulled the box out thinking the clutch needed replacing, how-ever the problem was a seized thrust bearing. The thrust bearing that was put in by the gearbox shop appears to be a hybrid of a couple of different cars, the bearing itself isn't from an Au and the bearing holder is from neither a Ba or an Au. If anyone else has done this mod could you please let my know what type of thrust bearing you used. I do have gears and drive now, but I'm getting clutch slip above 3000rpm, the pressure plate bolts are torqued up to the correct nm and the flywheel/pressure plate are fine and not warped, I think the combo of the thrust bearing and holder are to long which is what is giving me the problem.
Thanks Rob.
