Exedy Thrust Bearing Looks Diff To Standard?

[boostn0199]

Im changing thrust bearing abd noticed exedy one looks diff to standard one is it the right one? and which way do you insert it?

Yes, the factory one looks like it has a two piece setup on the bearing face whereas the exedy one looks like it's all one piece. That is supposed to be like that.

The rounded face goes against the clutch and faces towards the engine, the flat back edge of the bearing goes onto the bearing carrier first and faces towards the gearbox

So this side that is in the pic goes onto the clutch side and the other side with a groove towards the box.

Should it be like the one in the pic on the left?

a standard replacement or one to suit a twin plate? they are differant. the twin plate one is a smaller diameter.

It what came with my exedy clutch, so Id presume they would give the single plate one as a its a single plate clutch pic attached. The one on the right is the new bearing. Well I put it in anyway havent started the car but it does change gears and all.

I thought I was very descriptive.

The picture from justjap shows the back of the bearing. That side points towards the back of the car. The other side has a ROUNDED face which goes against the clutch.

Or......take it to a mechanic and all your worries will go away

In the LAST pic you posted, if you put in on the carrier with that side facing towards the clutch, it is wrong. You are going to hear loud screaching sounds when you press the clutch in.

Yeah i ended up realising when thinking about it logically that rounded side is towards clutch and thats how i put and its working fine thanks for the help.
