DeTomaso Mailing List: February 2001, Message #192

I replaced the clutch disk and pressure plate recently with items purchased 
directly from McLeod.  The McLeod 'tech' guy refused to recommend a McLeod 
throw-out bearing for a Pantera, saying it was Pantera specific.  He did seem 
to be very knowledgable of Pantera clutches though and suggested that I get the 
throw-out bearing from someone who specializes in Pantera parts - which I did.  
Based on that, I would tend to be wary of the Napa catalog version fitting 
properly.
