Release Bearing Grease Just took the first ride after a long long time. I found it strange but my clutch does not seem to release or to slow down for a very long time. I see another thread on here about the adjustment and free play, but the only think I have done since last driving was to grease the release bearing. Is there any way that you can over do it with grease here and impact this. I have driven this car for 45 years and know it is significantly different right now. Shifting up the gears you grind even waiting 10 seconds or so. Just want to know if I could have caused some of this with excessive release bearing grease.

Re: Release Bearing Grease Define what you think is excessive. Greasing that critter only requires a pump or two. But it doesn't seem to me like that would cause the problem you're having. Once in gear, does the clutch release correctly ? I'm wondering if you may have a broken arm.

Re: Release Bearing Grease Once had an oily/gunky clutch disc that chattered/shook awful on take off. With inspection cover off, used an old carbon-tetrachloride fire extinguisher & flooded inside of pressure plate area while idling & pushed clutch in & out, flooded & did the same thing over & over many times. It cleaned it out well & apparently dried the disc lining well & it worked smoothly after that. I don't know if carbon-tetrachloride is available anymore??? Bill W.

When I first got Minerva, she had only 900 miles on a complete rebuild, but the clutch always chattered on initial take off in low gear. I "visualized" in my head?? that each chatter was just increasing the "highs" & the "lows" in the disc lining. I found that with a smooth gradual engaging of the clutch, and with NO increasing of the throttle, she would pull off from a stop in second gear nicely, with NO chatter! After driving this way for about a month, this apparently smoothed the disc lining & she never ever chattered on a low gear take off again. Also, it lessened the "labor" of shifting from low to second! (YAWN!) Bill W.

Re: Release Bearing Grease Back to the shifting problem, have you checked your fluid level? If the clutch is operating properly and it still takes 10 seconds to shift you my be low on fluid and cannot affect the speed of the cluster gear sufficiently.

Re: Release Bearing Grease The clutch does work. It just takes a longer time to drop off rotation (much longer) than it did a year or so ago. I did drain the transmission and refilled with the proper oil, and greased this release. I did see grease oozing out around the bearing, and that is why I wondered if this could have done something. The clutch definitely works as it does not slip at all when in gear and driving. I will drive for a while to see if it improves. Thanks for the help.
