well that sucks
One of those things where the person making the kit didn't actually try the bearing out in the real world.
As some cheap ofshore bearings are not well made

My clutch pedal is quite loose and engagement is very low, so I took a look under there and found that the bearing that Chico supplies with their clutch clevis kit has basically disintegrated

hmm the one you got much different than mine. i had to drill mine bigger to fit it an it's much beefier

[immorality]

Hmm, that is quite different. I had to drill mine to fit the needle bearing, and I had to drill it out a little more to press my bushing in. I should have taken pics of the bushing that I put in there, but it looks exactly like this:

[Oteck]

looking at yours it's much wider than mine. the one i have is a pita to put in because it can swivel out of place if the right washer isn't there to keep it in the middle regardless if i pressed it in or not

[immorality]

If I recall correctly my bearing was 8mm wide.

[Oteck]

If I recall correctly my bearing was 8mm wide.

mines half that, i bought a couple of them for $5 from CRW last year if you like. It was intended for a person but i don't talk to him anymore

[immorality]

I'm good with the bushing for now. If it starts getting sloppy I'll have to find something else because now the hole is larger than the CRW bearing.

I haven't updated this thread in a while, but I did have a couple of noteable updates recently. First off:

187,500 miles = 300,000km


...and secondly, I received third place in the mk2 MR2 class at this years Toyotafest in Long Beach!

[redtwo]

Well deserved too. That is a rocket.

Wow, I didn't realize that car had 300,000 kms on it. It looks great.

Thanks guys! It's been a lot of work to this point, but I'm going to have to do something more to get to that 2nd or maybe even 1st place next year.

[macatak]

time to bling up the engine?

[Goopi]

Sweet man, I guess it was definitely worth the trip then!

...but I'm going to have to do something more to get to that 2nd or maybe even 1st place next year.

Turbo!
