February 9, 200620 yr First post here. I am having trouble locating the correct throwout bearing and collar for my 84 Brat. I think there was a change that year from 200mm disc to 225mm. It appears that an 84 may have either. That seems to be why I keep getting the wrong bearing for the collar I have. If I get the collar to fit the bearing, it doesn't fit over the nose of the transmission. I need to replace both collar and bearing. Has anyone else ran into this problem? Will I have to order from the dealer to get the correct one, or does somebody out there know where to locate one?
February 9, 200620 yr Where are you getting your parts? I recomend NAPA. I assume you have the 4spd 4wd Tranny? All EA81 manual trannies have the same throwout bearings.

February 9, 200620 yr I hope this helps, I spent some time in my local Napa's books. There does appear to be at least two options (on the EA81 style bearing) one being part # N4012 that has a bearing bore diameter of 1.57 inches and # N3005 that has the bore diameter of 1.3755.(I believe that would be where they press onto the collar) They also listed a complete assembly #N4047 that I think would have the N3005 bearing installed on it which appeared to be the later model's. (the last few years of EA81 production) If that don't help I can dig a little deeper. Good Luck!
February 9, 200620 yr I have had the same peoblem. I have a 225mm cluch and flywheel and got the wrong clutch, then took it back and got a clutch that fitted but had the wrong bearing. After several tries to get the right one I managed to get a totaly different bearing to go on my EA81 gearbox clutch leaver. It is a bigger bearing so it doesn't have any issues with 225mm clutch center hole in the finguers. I hope I'm making sence.. Its 12 at night and I've had a long day.
February 11, 200620 yr Author Thanks for the tips all. I managed to find the correct bearing at NAPA, and ordered the collar from Subie Dealer. About $40.00, and they have 8 left at the warehouse if anyone else runs into this prob. Thanks Again. Be wheeling again soon.
