Thread: lt95 Isuzu Clutch throwout bearing

I'm in the process of fitting up an lt95 to replace a tired lt85 in the County.
I've just put the gearbox in & find the pushrod is approx 25mm too short to fit the slave cyl.
I did a search & found Murrays ( rigidij) pic below.



So that explains the problem. My question is, seeing as I've bolted it up & replaced the mount brackets so far, would I get away with extending the rod to make it up? My thoughts would be why did they go for the longer bearing & not a longer rod? BTW I got the longer rod- its the 193mm one along with the different splined clutch plate & bellhousing off Fred Smith,- he said thats all I need but maybe he overlooked the bearing??

Thanks, David

AYG3339 is the part you need or get a sleeve made up to put on your V8 throwout bearing.Regards.....Brian

Thanks, it could have been worse, drive shafts speedo cable etc are yet to go on.
Or I could have done what a mate did & put the whole lot back & then find the bearing on the work bench
