Just to close the loop, I replaced the ToB this weekend and it solved the issue. There was no noticeable damage/issue with the original bearing but it was indeed causing the problem.

I didn't know that non-hydraulic T.O. bearings had carriers. Unless I'm misinformed about my verbiage and the carrier is the "ears" of the T.O. bearing.

That is what I was thinking as well, it very well may have been touching while running which probably prematurely cooked the bearing. I did adjust it back out last night for ~1/8" of play before it makes contact with the pressure plate, but made no difference (I figure the bearing are already...

My only counter point to those is; clutch fork should be correct as I have part numbers to match fork, with the bellhousing, pivot, and trans from Brewers. Clutch fork tips look like they are too long but are not, the bearing has spun in a position that make it look that way. When the bearing is...

225 w/A833 & hydraulic clutch with stock fork and throw out. Was driving my valiant last week and the clutch started to go away like a pressure leak in slave or master, could hardly get it in first with the engine running. Pull the dust cover of the trans and looks like my throw-out bearing is...

It seems very much like a "1" to me but not 100% sure. Unfortunately I totally assumed this block was a '69 due to the "E" and had all the forged bottom end items ready. Whoops lesson learned

The stamping on the top of the block is "1 225 T2 24 E". I had read somewhere that the E indicates a 1969, however that must not be the case. Thanks Dan,

What years did they make cast cranks? I ask because I have a 1969 225 that has a cast crank, narrow bearing journal. I was under the presumption that all 60-75 cranks were forged and 76-84 were cast but I must be wrong.

Looking for a set of cheap 225 slant 6 connecting rods for a cast crankshaft (Narrow Journal).

I mean truly? I've been running them for 10+ years on all my slants with zero issue ever

Hoping there is a simple solution I haven't thought of yet for this one. Few weeks ago I had a failed mechanical fuel pump on my 65' Valiant 225 slant 6 so I went to o'rileys and bought a new M16124 pump, threw it in, fired up and it ran fine. Next weekend I take the Valiant up to the mountains...

Please let me know, I've sorta got it to work with an 8-32 though bolt and a lock nut on the end, but it will surely fail after time.

Looking for the driver side vent window pivot base for a '65 valiant 4dr. Mine broken and for the life of me I can't fix it.

Gentlemen I am lost! Workin on a 65' Valiant 4dr (AV-1 says service manual). Trying to removal door glass in the rear door. Service manual says, "loosen front running channel and push forward to slide glass outta the channel", the front running channel is bolted to the door so there is no extra...
