Throw out bearing
Ok so I have an 81' and its old engine was seazed up and just sat for 6 years so i took out the old engine and tranny and such cleaned the tranny then got a new engine from the junkyard, the clutch on the new engine is still good, but I was wondering if I should still use the old throw out bearing for the engine? or get a new one and install it now since i have it taken apart already? thanks thats all for now!

Airflow is my life
I would check the pilot bearing and grease it if its still good. I wouldnt re-use the throw out bearing unless I was confident that it was in good condition, same for the clutch itself.

Well, let's think this through. How many hours is it going to take to drop the exhaust, then the transmission, to replace a bad throw out bearing.. Let's say 8 hours.. Is that 8 hours of your time worth the 10 bucks or so that it costs for a new throw out bearing..

I usually have the whole thing done in 1 hour........unless I take the time to cut the flywheel that's about 15-20 minutes more.
but then again........I work in a tranny shop.
