When I was looking at Chris's Clutch disc, Exedy has a little plastic "ring" that is between the center splines and the rest of the clutch, that too has a bunch of free-play. I am wondering if its a case of tolerance stacking, which is why it seems that the shifting/trans issues are so hit or miss...
So the question is Toyoburu using a different throw out bearing now? I'm having mine replaced under warranty soon, but if it is the same unit I'm doomed...
