    My 6 puck sucked. I also found that the throw out bearing "spacer" was missing under the wave washer when I tore it down though. I'm sure that didnt help but in general I hated long drives because it was such a work out to avoid chatter and start on inclines.. Ken you know all this already, I...

    Toyota Select Fit Bearings
