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. -------------------- |

Exactly as Smaay said.
New = Tight seal and lots of grease = resistance = stops spinning fast Old = Worn seal and little to no grease = less resistance = spins longer BAD = deal seal and no grease = Damaged bearing = no spinning |
