clutch release bearing

Post by mjr »

anyone have neat trick for an irritating little noisy release bearing without pulling the tranny out? 83 gtv6 double plate clutch. its been in winter storage for 9 months. The transmission behaves perfectly, but in neutral, the release bearing is a bit noisy, like a dry sound. Ive done about 400 miles in it since coming out of storage, but doesnt seem to be quietening down. 68,000 miles. :roll:

Your only hope is to try and spray a little aerosolized grease in the general direction of the bearing.Might work :roll: but if it doesn't you don't have to pull the tranny to replace it just the clutch.It isn't that bad a job.

i'll have to try that, it must be lack ouf use that has done it, if I do have to pull the clutch, i'll go to the single plate set up, I found that set up was better on another gtv6 I had.


cheers
