hi so i got an engine 302 and t5 tranny with bellhousing and clutch fork.

i recently purchase a clutch disk with pp and flywheel and pilot bearing.

now my quesion is what else do i need?

i looking at a throwout bearing on ebay now but was curious is there a clip that holds the throwout bearing to the clutch?

my old supra had a clip on the throut bearing but that was because the throut bearing was getting "pull" away from the motor but with the 302/t5 the throwout is getting "push" towards the motor correct?

is there anything else i need to purchase? and if it needs a clip where can i find them?

thanks

The throwout bearing is held to the clutch fork by a metal bracket. The bracket should be on the clutch fork that you have.

What else do you need for what? What are you doing? If a swap, you'll need stuff like a block plate.

well i thought the throwout bearing is held by a clip so it wont slip off the clutch.

but i guess its different for stangs.

and i have the engine/tranny plate.

and i was wondering what the braket is on the fork is for lol

thanks
