Still working on my tranny swap and I've been examining components before I put them back in.
The throw out bearing on my OLD transmission spins freely for about 6-8 seconds, and the throw out bearing on the new (slightly used) transmission stops spinning as soon as I take my hand off it. My question is, which behavior is normal...? I might have gotten brake cleaner on the newer throw out bearing once upon a time when I was cleaning it out... which might be why its acting like this now. :S But I can't remember for sure. -------------------- |

a new TO bearing is greased up and should stop spinning immeadiatly, a used one that grease has broken down and worn out so it spins more freely. that means the bearings inside it dont have as much protection and lubrication. you really should replace the TO bearing anytime you change the clutch. for 20-30 bucks its a safe thinig to do
