Any of the listed inserts above will work.
But I would recommend that you measure the depth of the hole, and when you drill it out for the insert, wrap some tape around your drill bit as a stop. It is really easy to drill all the way through and end up with a gear oil leak. |

If the flywheel is machined to the max the ball pivot stud needs to be shimmed out to get the correct throw out arm geometry. I would attempt to measure the installed height. I hav a trans case and can measure that for you if needed. Bruce |

So you wouldn’t measure thickness of the flywheel as well? Please do Bruce, Thanks |
