Default throw out bearing

Putting a tkx in my 66 gto...............seems im having a throw out bearing issue, have two, one says 614018 think its a timkin.............the other has no tag on it, but i thing its a Center force N 1716, just a little bigger than the timkin..............somehow got them mixed up and cant remember what i took off the trans................

Center force clutch and pressure plate if that helps..................which ones are you guys running with the tkx...............as usual sorry for the confusion...........its the way i roll.

Ok, a pic of the two i have..............i know i used one, just cant remember, the N1716 is just a little bigger than the 614018.............any thoughts on this one guys.

Im taking it these are the smaller heights, not the tall ones.

sorry i cant help with which one to use for that trans... hopefully someone that uses that trans will chime in. if not, it would probably easier to call the trans company tech line to ask what they say to use.

If you're not using a hydraulic throwout bearing you should be able to use a stock replacement. That's what I did when I went to a 5 speed(Legend), and no problems.

Just put a TKX in my 70 GTO and the one on the right looks just like the one SST sent with my kit and it works just fine.
