Release Bearing Coyote TKO-600 Cable pull?

[BEAR-AvHistory]

Anyone have a part number for the release bearing (throw-out bearing) that goes with the Centerforce DF148500 Dual Friction Clutch Pressure Plate and Disc Set single disc clutch?

Isn't that the same clutch that Ford Performance sells as M-7560-T46? Sounds like it based on the description, and comes in a Centerforce box. If so, the same one I have in my Coyote powered #8674. Used a Ford Performance M-7548-A throw-out bearing. Works fine and still going strong after three seasons and nearly 6,500 miles. Hope that helps.

Its close. 11" CF vs 10.5 for the FORD. My original unit also came in a CF box. They hold that patent for the design & suspect they are the only OEM for the part. Looks like the bearing is good to go as its designed for the larger 1 1/8 TKO input shaft against a diaphragm spring. Starting to get some slippage in top gears with a sudden throttle hit. 11,000 miles on the original unit but had a bad adjustment that wore it early. Still holds in the lower gears but its getting time to do my once a year heavy maintenance.

Got the CF unit as Amazon had a special at $125.00 for a best at Summit of $433.00. MSRP is over $500.00. Amazon had 2 in stock & was clearing their inventory. Now only available from 3rd party vendors at the $433 to $470 price.

Normally would have gotten it from Summit but Amazon has a free return service so if there are any issues will send it back.

Not 100% sure which you are referring to. The Ford Performance (aka Centerforce) M-7560-T46 is listed by both Summit and Ford Performance as 11-inches. I vaguely remember measuring it and confirming the size. But that was a couple years ago. It's what Factory Five recommended for a Coyote build, and have used it twice with good results.

Sorry was looking at the wrong line at FORD Performance. It is the same 11" one.

Was a little concerned about the $125. Price for an item on most sites for over $400. Figured as it was Amazon guaranteeing a free return it was worth the shot. As described brand new.

Hit the "buy it again" button as it seemed to be a no brainer as I could use it or sell it at a 100% profit for $250 without an trouble.

Alas got a "no longer available" notice. Did anyone here buy the last one? Ordered the throw-out bearing edwardb recommended (Thanks) due in on Friday. Last item to hunt down is pilot bearing M-7600-B that fits the Coyote crank & TKO input shaft.
