On my 65, I am replacing the throwout bearing. I got it out, and then pressed (wood block and hammer) it out of its little plate thing it goes into. Now, sticking out of the bearing is a sleeve. What I am wondering is, is that supposed to be pressed out too or not?? My new throwout bearing doesnt have this sleeve. Also, I took the clutch out, but my stepdad says it looks like its brand new, and we might not need to replace it. Is it still better to just replace it?? any response would be great, thanks. If i didnt explain it well enough, I can take pictures that should be able to explain it better for me.
