mazfg Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Hopefully going to put my gearbox back in tomorrow. Just wondered if the outward face of the clutch release bearing should be clean and free from grease where it touches the clutch plate?

mazfg Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Thanks. Should I grease the spline? Also where the release bearing carrier sits on the shaft.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyman Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Yes but only lightly, and only use copperslip. And dont forget the spigot bearing in the crank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Jones Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 LUK do special spline grease in a little tube too. Available from any decent motor factor. Apply very sparinglyNick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazfg Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 I used a smear of moly based grease in the end. Pig of a job getting that gearbox in as I have extra weight with an overdrive. Still...all in now. Just need to get everything reconnected and will test briefly before I attach the prop.Thanks for the helpfull info.
