New to the forum and new to jeeps! Working on a 83 CJ5 and when I went to change the throwout bearing it had an adaptor on it that was broken. I'm a novice and don't know much about it but I have not been able to find anything on these adaptors. The previous owner put in an AMC 304 V8 and it has a a T-176 transmission. My question is if its common to need an adaptor for the throwout bearing because of the engine change? If not then do you size the throwout bearing to the engine or the transmission? I attached pictures of the throwout bearing/adaptor.
