Hydrualic clutch (one more time)
I started a new thread last night but i can't find it. I need to know about a hydrualic throw out bearing. The directions say to shim it until it is against the clutch fingers. To actually pre-load the bearing a little bit. This means that the bearing will be turning all the time. I think it will burn the bearing up if it turns all the time with the clutch. As hard as it is to get my trans out, I don't want to do it any more than i have to. It is maade by SouthWest Speed and is identical to a Howe.

Hydraulic Throwout Brg
I have a McLeod unit. McLeod directions said to install it with about 0.200" clearance in the fully retracted position. Their logic was to allow room for the fingers to rise as the clutch wears/breaks in. McLeod was concerned that the clutch may not fully engage once the discs wear some from use. After the first use my throwout bearing is in constant contact with the fingers. Talk to your manufacturer to understand his design criteria and installation requirements, but I'll bet you'll need to provide some air gap on initial install.

The clutch already has 1100 miles on it and as far as i can tell is broken in. Do you have any problems with your throw out bearing being in constant contact with your clutch.

Several of the manufacturers direct you to have the throwout bearing touching the fingers of the clutch. The actual bearings will not be harmed by doing this, it is what they are designed for. jimig@standardtransmission.com |

Like Jimi said the bearing is designed to operate this way.
