				901/05 trans guide tube question
			 
			Hi, I'm working on my transmission rebuild and was going to replace the guide tube for the throwout bearing. the original guide tube is 60mm long, the replacement is 44mm long overall. is there some other part #? this is a 1968 901/05 5 speed.  thanks!

			looks like i might have it figured out, the longer guide tube is for a 70-71 transmission. it looks like this is not correct for my 68 trans and the shorter guide tube is correct.

			At one time I was able to acquire a few guide tubes. I believe these are shorter than the ones on my 914. I'll have to check lengths. Dang things do wear. Not sure how to lube them without attracting dirt that would aggravate things.
