James, et al,
I was going to suggest a roller throw out bearing might
alleviate Tab's problem, but I have never used one, and over
the years I have heard good and bad things about them. I
would be interested in the input from this list on them, so
what do you think? The biggest issue would be, are they
durable? No sense replacing a carbon bearing with one that
doesn't last as long.
