throw out bearing

[Kevin101882]

ive replaced my throw out bearing 3 times this past summer.. i put the first one in myself along with a rebuilt T-5.. and that one was bad instantly.. the next two i took to my mechanic thinking that i just simply did something wrong, but it wouldnt take long for those to wear out.. could there be something else wrong causing the bearing to go bad, am i just having a string of bad luck, or should i just invest in an aftermarket performance type throw out bearing???

Were they all the same brand of part, if so maybe you bought part of a bad lot. Did you inquire back at the shop who last installed it?

You have to heavily grease them.

You have to heavily grease them.

These bearings are sealed units. The only place a very light coating of grease should be is on the surface the bearing glides back and forth on. You don't want a lot of grease flyin' around in the bell housing contaminating the disk and the pressure plate surfaces.
