930 Clutch

[j911brick]

I'm working on a '82 930 and the issue at the moment is the clutch release bearing. As this motor came to me in a basket there have been several missing parts. Right now what I have is a clutch release bearing (only) and there doesn't seem to be a retaining clip, spring washer, or shims of any sort. The parts diagrams doesn't show these parts and the picture (of the bearing) from the Pelican site doesn't either. Were these parts omitted for the 930 and if not, how can I order them without the part numbers...or does some have the right part numbers? Am I missing something here???

TIA

This old thread of mine should help answer your questions:

Release Bearing Question

Thanks Ronnie, I appreciate it.

there's none of that on a 930 bearing.

[j911brick]

what keeps the bearing from falling inside the clutch prior to installation of the trans?

[john walker's workshop]

you hold the bearing with your fingers while the perimeter bolts are tightened up. the hole gets smaller and the bearing is captured.

Does the cdic keep it from falling back inside?

[john walker's workshop]

it's captured as i mentioned above. it ain't goin nowhere once the 9 bolts are tightened.
