If you have been replacing the bearing instead of addresing the cause, you may need to have a cheap ready supply.I would look for an alignment issue.

What has been going wrong with your TOB's?

Given that he's posting LT1 questions on the LS1 board, I'm guessing deductive logic isn't exactly his happy place.

i was posting under the t56 section. and yes i know there a bit different between the ls1 and lt1. but im just looking for some help.

but anyways, whats could be the allignment issue? just trying to find out all the info i can so this doesnt happen again.

Maybe if you gave more detail on the failures your previous TO bearings have experienced...

LT1s use a guide tube that is mounted on the front adapter. If bent, it would cause the bearing to ride in a place it did not want to. The fork T stud and the clips that hold the fork in place may have alignment concerns. The clip itself could be broken. The crank pilot could be bad and causing an input gear alignment concern. This will also distress the pocket bearing inside the trans.

well this weekend its all coming out. and i was more on the lines of trying to get a stronger throwout bearing. becuase i have been told the oem one that came with the clutch set from advanced auto are cheap and other people have expirienced the same thing ( go figure from advanced). but yeah the first one didnt go bad it was just replaced with the clutch and now this one has gone bad.. resulting in my third TOB.
