4 speed clutch release bearing on 3 speed gearbox

[Stuart Giles]

Hi All

Interesting thread.  Do you have to use the hammerhead toggles with this conversion and if so why?

Cheers

here's an engine and gearbox that came in a couple of years ago. The builder had fitted a 4 speed release bearing and kept the 3 speed style clutch fingers. The massive groove in the face of the release bearing isn't as obvious in the photo as in "real life".

in the second photo you can see what's left of the 3 speed fingers as well as some of the metal filings that have come off the setup while the car was being driven.
