I need to lubricate my t/o bearing carrier. I've had some "sticking" issues
which I've narrowed down to the carrier hanging up on the end of the
transmission out put shaft. If I disconect the slave push rod and slide the
carrier
back and forth a couple of times the clutch is smooth as silk for a couple of
hundred miles. I guess sliding it the full length of it's travel causes the
carrier to pick up a little grease, and lubricates it for a while. After a
while,
the clutch, while functioning normally, is sticky, and creaks like an old
screen door. In retrospect, I can't remember" what I used to lubricate the
carrier. Obviously it wasn't adequate. I do remember the bear grease was
omitted
from the TRF gunst kit. I didn't think it would be that big a deal to use
something else. I checked the surfaces prior to assembly, and I thought it all
looked good, so I don't think the condition of the out put shaft/carrier union
is the issue, rather simple lack of lubrication. Question: Has anyone tried
to perform laproscopic surgery on the bell housing? I wonder if I could
drill three holes in the bell housing. One to see through, one to shine a
light
through, and one to somehow apply some grease to the shaft? Any ideas?
