Well, going by the above picture and description I think the throw-out bearing in my ute is the wrong one :(

Here are some pics.





And just a few more showing the 30+yrs of grease and grime on the gearbox and the cross member.. lol

What do you think??? I think the one in mine looks like a push type one... When I should have the middle one.

This is probably why it is out of alignment and causeing me greif!! :(
