I thought I move this discussion here from the introduction section. I looked at the new throw out bearing I have. I am going to see if I can get grease in there. Mine feels like it has grease in there. |

You guys make me nervous when you bring this stuff up. I have never greased a throw out bearing before - just slap 'em in and go. One of a million or so things I'm probably consistently doing wrong....

One of a million or so things I'm probably consistently doing wrong.... I'm in the same boat as you, Ryan! After listening to the likes of Oily, Lee, Scout and such.... I'm beginning to wonder if I just need to start my jeep over..... sigh.... I wish I knew them back in '02, would've saved me money, time and busted knuckles, lol! |

Them old guys are just remembering their "good ol' days" when parts were inconsistent. Today's tolerances are practically perfect...those Chinese workers have perfected manufacturing. Also, think about the old guys that taught our old guys...they probably had to build their own throw out bearings, thus had to grease them. They mentor our old guys who just learn to grease them, not build them. See the picture now?  |

BD7, your bearing looks to be sealed. Mine that I have used do not have the black plastic seal like yours. Just a metal cover that has a gap. So, you most likely are good to go. Oilly

It's a good thing those meticulous Chinese came along or we would still have to make throw out bearings out of used horseshoes and old door knobs!  Back on topic... I remember my throw out bearing being just like BD7's.... I have to dig out some old ones and look for the differences. |

Well I've never greased one either, the one in hand for the Kubota is a dry looking Bastage, in and out, how bout throwing the bearing in a lard can full of grease and setting it on the wood stove for a bit and let it soak into the works! BD7 your correcting proper thread drift by starting a new one!, never been done here before.......... Us long timers will require some adjustment time.  |

You may think I'm off on this subject, but Hawkridge had to pull his tranny again and pack his noisey bearing also. So, I'm not completely nuts here. Works well for me. What clutch set up are you using Captain?

Would not the grease on a throw out bearing, heat up and spin onto the clutch and pressure plate. I have never seen anything about this in a manual. Interesting....

Scout, it doesn't get into things. They puke all over in there anyway. Ever take one apart that was nice and clean?  |

I’ve swapped out a few filthy-as-can-be throwout bearings. I’ve never greased one. So let’s just say I’d like to know if it helps, or doesn’t.

Gotta love it- throw it in a can of lard and warm it up!!  |

I'm willing to bet if we pulled Hawkridges engine and Sir Splitpersonalitys there is a mirror finish inside the bellhousing, no grease, no dirt, just plenty of shiny clean! Oilleaker where do you get your Lucas T/O bearings ? |

Smith Instruments. The ones that look good, but don't work.

It seriously depends on what kind you have. For example, my International Diesel trucks had a zirc to do it. If yours has the black plastic seal, I think not. If it is all steel shielding and the center moves about, I do. I have not recieved or bought one with that black plastic. So, beware of it. Oilly
