Bud, what you remembered was, there are two slightly different throwout
bearing IDs due to the way they're made, and one fits looser than the other.
There's also apparently two different carrier ODs to match. The bearings and
carriers are apparently interchangeable; don't know for sure. Its been awhile
since I built up a complete engine for a Pantera. You could take a fine
file to the iron carrier step and shave it down to a slip fit on the bearing
you have ifb the press fit bothers you; the fit of the bearing to the carrier
seems less important than the fit of the carrier to the ZF nose piece. Good
luck- J DeRyke
