      1) The bearing that rides over the transmission input shaft is called the throwout bearing
      2) No, you won't need shorter flywheel bolts. They are only shaving the friction surface. However, you should get new bolts. I think they might be stretch bolts. I dunno how many mils to shave off.

        Your info says you have a 325. So you have an eta I assume? That car came with a dual mass flywheel. I think you need/I would reccomened getting a single mass flywheel off of the e36 or an e30 I engined car.
