[urq] throwout bearing for locker tranny; can you convert to newer style?

[Scott Justusson]

Yes, the later style clip-in bearing goes with the later style stamped fork.  The spring-clip early style throw out bearing needs to be used with the early style cast fork.  Fork found in only 89.5-91 200tq flat flywheel applicaiton, NLA from the dealer many years ago.  That said, the respective matched fork/TOB combinations are interchangeable to all 016 transmissions with the roll pin slave cylinder.

HTH, and many btdt

I'm getting ready to mate the 3b with the stock 016 locker in the urq.  I
have the newer style throwout bearing.  It won't work in the cast style from
the urq.  I have a stamped throwout carrier from a later 01a car, that won't
work either.  At this point, it seems the simplest way to go is to get the
correct throwout for the cast arm in the locker.  I was under the impression
the later style bearing could be adapted to the transmission.  Is the
stamped carrier from a torsen 016 like the 200q20v what I need?
