Subject: Re: throwout bearing?


The following fix is a real hack, but it fixed my 80 900T for two years (10k miles). My throwout bearing was making noise and the clutch was good but if I replaced the bearing I was going to replace the clutch too, so I felt I had nothing to loose. I used a can of spray chain lube with a long nozzle to spray quite a lot of lube into the area of the throwout bearing, gaining access through the little inspection plug. The lube foamed and worked back into the bearing and fixed it for about 6 months when I repeated the procedure. I pointed the car downhill and had to spray more lube then I thought it should take but it worked until I replaced the car. The clutch continued to work perfectly.
