Hi Wally

I was going to use a Saab throughout bearing until I went full G50 clutch.

Hello Steve,

Nice parts! Why did you come up with the saab TO bearing originally? Does it fit over the original G50 bearing release shaft in the G50 bell-housing (inner diameter sufficient)?

How high is it from the ground up fully compressed and fully elongated?

Thanks in advance,
Walter

The type 4 case with crank and flywheel (with inserted bearing) fits like a glove to the G50





Even the main shaft fits perfectly inside the flywheel nose bearing (411/412 bearing):



So, if I shorten the bell housing and output shaft exactly the same for both, it should work.

Hi Steve,

I will go full VW clutch probably. I found a Luk hydraulic one from a VW/Audi that is lower than the Saab unit, which I also found. The Saab one can be shortenend some and is nicer though.

This is what I'll use as a pressure plate:



The tranny is almost dismantled:
