Hi Jay, it is bonafide Gunst bearing and Im still a little perplexed as
to why it didnt work. All parts in question were new including shaft,
pin, and bushings. Maybe a bent friction plate? Others have had no
problem. I would have preferred the Sachs unit as it did feel lighter
on the clutch foot, but the B and B unit feels about the same as the
laycock that came out. Its working now and really would hate to pull it
again although Im getting really good at it:) John
