Re: Greasing the Throwout Bearing
Chris, Thanks for the clarification. I learn something new every time I open the Barn Forum.
The throwout bearings I have bought new are sealed so no grease gets in. But they do last for a long time. I put the car in neutral and take my foot off the clutch when at a stop for a while, like at a light. That takes some wear away from the throwout bearing and the trust bearing on the crankshaft.
