Re: Transmission / clutch install questions - 3OTT
Confirm the transmission fits the pilot bearing before installing the clutch.
Do not pull the transmission in with the bolts. I have seen many a transmission case with broken ears caused by this. There is a void inside the throw-out bearing that is meant to be a grease reservoir. Be sure to add grease to this void if the bearing manufacturer has not already done this. Some grease the nose of the transmission where the bearing runs. It all works but do no install without and grease/dry. I have found it easier to install the fork on the pivot ball before installing the transmission. Cheers. |

Re: Transmission / clutch install questions - 3OTT
thanks Accelo; I appreciate the advice on pre-fitting
a question on your comment " I have found it easier to install the fork on the pivot ball before installing the transmission" . Does this mean you install the clutch fork on the pivot ball - then slip the throw out bearing into the clutch fork - and then slide the transmission shaft through the throw out bearing? Bruce |

The spring that fits the groove in the bearing retains it in place. Just be sure the spring isn't broken. It is quite common. |
