Here is the senerio.  I am trying to complete my T5 conversion but am having problems with finding a throw out bearing to fit the input shaft cover of my T5.  I am using the original clutch fork, bellhousing but have purchased a new cluthc plate and disc.  Anybody have suggestions for me???  The clutch company suggested having the input shaft or the throw out bearing sleeved to fit but the machine shop they did not want to even try.  OD of the input shaft cover is 1.434' and ID of the bearing is 1.742.  Thanks Bing

Mummert's site says the throw out bearing must be changed for trucks (I knew I was able to use the same one on my Victoria.  Give John a call at (619) 596-0312.

Yep, Mummert offers a sleeve and a special bearing. Go with the special bearing. It fits and works great.
