Hi Rich

After reading a few posts on the Pelican forums they seem to have trouble with release bearing shaft corroding and sometimes the needle bearings falling apart. Mine was in beautiful condition.

There was also a horror story of the whole release bearing support ear snapping off. There are 2 ways of upgrading the release bearing support shaft, one bolts in the other needs drilling, I've heard that the drilling method can weaken the release bearing support ear.

I only got a pressure plate & ring gear with my G50, so I could get a clutch plate for about $300 and try my luck or Pelican have a well priced kit.

This kit includes:
Sachs OEM Spring-centred Clutch Disc
Sachs OEM Pressure Plate
Pressure Plate Bolts & Washers
Sachs OEM Throw-Out Bearing
Throw-Out Release Fork (Improved)
Flywheel Seal
Flywheel Bolts
Flywheel Pilot Bearing
Slave Cylinder
Slave Cylinder Hose
Clutch Alignment Tool
$1189.60

+ G50 Improved Operating Shaft & Bushing Kit $186.25
+ Updated Throw Out Bearing Guide Tube $68.25
+ Shipping

Steve
