I know of a number of other people with the same set up. Much easier on the release bearing because it's not always revolving.

My memory letting me down again! When I used a 3-speed engine and 4-speed release bearing, I was fitting a 4-speed gearbox. With the RN it's 3-speed, of course.
I've found a 4-speed release bearing, but on the 3-speed gearbox, the flange is missing for the circlip that holds the retaining/return spring on the release bearing. Do I just fit it without the return spring?
John
I never use the spring.
