[QUOTE="OldSVTGuy, post: 17011479, member: 40332"] Years ago, I purchased a variety of longer springs from a hardware store and installed one of them on the clutch arm to keep the throwout bearing completely off the clutch fingers. Had to drill a hole in that metal cover and fix a mounting point at an appropriate point but it's worked for years now. Put in a second clutch about 5 years ago with about 79,000 on the car and now have almost 100,000 on it. NEVER had to replace a throwout bearing (except when changing the clutch) in all that time using this setup. Best cheap investment I ever made. That original spring is still on the car. Used only FRPP throwout bearings. [/QUOTE]
