Release Bearing

[billyvang05]

i bought a new clutch kit and was putting the new Release Bearing on and realized that the clip didn't have any where to be held in the Release Bearing is that ok?

Did you use an OEM throw out bearing?

 

[billyvang05]

there was an oem throw-out bearing before but since i got a new one i was going to switch it out

What was the new one from? Did it come with your clutch kit? If so, what kind? If not, where'd you get it from?

i got the clutch kit from autozone

I would recommend getting a new OEM throw out bearing and using that. I don't hear too many people around here using non-brand name clutches, but it's recommended to ALWAYS use an OEM tob.

is it ok if the bearing doesn't have any where to hold the clip

I'm not 100% positive, but I'm going to say no. That's the way it came stock and the way it should be ran (with the clip). But if someone has any other comment on this, let me know, as I've never heard of this.

Please use proper punctuation and capitalization in your posts. Like already said, TOB is not something you cheap out on, use an OEM TOB. How will the TOB retract along with the fork if you can't clip it?

The bearing can clip onto the fork but it doesn't have any where to hold the clip on the bearing

If the bearing can slide back and forth with the fork, you should be OK but I still recommend using an OEM piece so you don't have to go back in in a few months.
