More 'Low Cost' Rover V8 Engine Parts,Components & Rebuild kits

We truly hope you enjoy our 24/7  V8 Parts Shop. We are adding more and more items per week, and we are posting the start price in almost all cases with the VAT (17.5%) amount included, rather than on top of (added to) our normal prices, thus offering you the opportunity to save a considerable amount on your parts needs, whilst being secure in the knowledge of our 25 years' experience of the Rover V8 engine and all it involves, plus the considerable eBay status & reputation we enjoy. We only sell parts that are truly required for the V8 engine, thus the prices are a reflection of the quality and appropriateness of them. We could sell low cost V8 parts of inferior quality, but we chose not to right from the beginning.

New Clutch Release Bearing & Carrier. (Low Cost, Clutch Thrust Bearing for the 2wd LT77 and R380 Gearbox's). This bearing is not suitable for the Borg-Warner T5 or the earlier 4 speed transmissions. Is this suitable for my Gearbox? This self centring type, clutch release bearing is suitable for the 2wd LT77 (including the very rare LT77 4 speed) and R380 transmissions. These Transmissions are used on many Rover V8 engined Variants, Morgan's, MG's, SD1, TVR's, to name just a few. We do also have solutions for the 4wd pre 1976 transmission applications and 4 wheel drive variants..      Do i need to replace my Release bearing?      Even if your release bearing is not in need of replacement, we would still suggest that whenever a clutch      assembly is changed, it is certainly a very good idea to change the release bearing at the same time,      especially as they cost so little. This will save having your car off the road un-necessarily to change the      release bearing later on. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other clutch parts are available We also offer Clutch friction plates (drive plate) for both 4 speed and 5 speed transmissions as well as complete Clutch  kits & components for 2wd Rover V8 vehicles too.  Add to this, our ability to supply serious race clutch parts too.

The following information on Clutch assembly, 'Terminology and description'... is for your guidance only as this listing is for the release bearing and carrier only. Clutch cover plate, also often called Pressure plate. This bulky but complex device bolts directly to the flywheel of your engine and is responsible for providing the required friction pressure of the clutch drive (driven) plate (disc). It is  positioned between the cover plate and the engines flywheel to ensure no slip on the clutch plate when driving. But it must also, be light enough with its spring resistance pressure and offer complete smoothness in its operation to allow for fine clutch take up, not only for changing gears through acceleration but also for comfortable, precise slow speed needs, encountered when driving around town. Clutch driven (drive) plate, also called Clutch friction plate (disc). Neatly sandwiched between the Flywheel and the the Pressure plate as described above. The drive plate provides top quality friction surfaces on both sides to provide the best grip on the flywheel and cover plate. It  also incorperates correct tensioned springs to ensure a smooth take up without juddering or snatch, as well as keeping clutch temperatures as low as possable for those traffic jam and heavy town traffic situations. Clutch Release Bearing or 'thrust' bearing. This small but essentail devise transmits the motion of your clutch pedal through the clutch system to engage & disengage the drive. It is a very important item to ensure your transmission is smooth in operaton for all the same reasons as listed above. Early type release bearings where mostly designed as a metal carrier shaft and a facing ball race style release bearing. Modern replacements are now normally of a one piece synthetic material construction with a self centering low friction style bearing and is far more a reliable unit and normally is a simple direct replacement to earlier styles - in most cases.
