bought this a year ago, had taken the other side apart to adjust, never thought this side would need it. No sound to make me think it was doing THIS!

Can you tell me what the part is in the photo? I just bought my 350B. I might need to know!

part number T20784... this is the hub that is just under the pressure plate and is the part that pushes against the clutch plates and disks. The pressure plate was grinding against the hub and caused this. The guy I got it from said they never could get it adjusted right, thinking something may have been put together wrong by the guy he got it from, so I may want to take it all apart again if I'm unable to get it adjusted where it should be.

Causes, I'm told could be a bad bearing (either the end of the shaft into the housing, the small bearing on the end of the intermediate shaft, or the bearing in the rear end)... so far the first two don't look to be the culprit. (awaiting seals before I take the rear end apart to look at that bearing)

Also... it had the bronze disks in that side, so clearance/aggressiveness wise may have been an issue
