Im in the the process of putting a 5 speed DR transmission into my 83 wagon.I keep getting hung up in a few places.Like the parts stores not being able to find a correct throw out bearing.So I took the old throwout bearing off to compare with what they had...In the process I lost one of the little retaining clips for the bearing.Any idea where I might find another?Not sure if the parts stores would have anything because they can't seem to even order the correct part..

 

transmission came out of an 85 GL EA82 car...

i think thats most likely a dealer part, i've only got one of the 2 retaining clips ad everything seems to work fine.

Yep - dealer should stock them. They are the same right up through the EJ stuff.

 

GD

I safety wired mine with .032*, the pigtails out of the way - the clips are cheesy to begin with

we have a winner!thats sounds nice and cheesy enough for me to do it..

LMAO

 

just make sure that it is secure and can't in any conceivable way interfere with normal operation...

I switched out the throwout fork about 10k miles ago and only had one clip, still works fine.
