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.

Your only hope is to try and spray a little aerosolized grease in the general direction of the bearing.Might work
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
