Ok, last year i posted here to have some feedback/comments! but no one answered, i'm trying again! That bearing on ALL car is NOT suppose to touch the clutch basket wile driving (this bearing is NOT suppose to spin all the time but only when you press the clutch), but on most, not to say all Vanagon (and i have seen some staying UP), even when the clutch pedal is release the slave cylinder still push on the lever/throw out bearing. http://www.benplace.com/clutch/clutch_release_bearing22.bjpg.jpg That said, the clutch is hydrolic, so when you press the pedal in front, the master clutch cylinder is activated and push oil in a tube that goes in the back to the slave cylinder who react to the oil pressure and does it job, so the problem is that the slave doesn't stay up when the pedal is release in front. Now i'm talking with a NEW master and slave well bleed.
Any advice or experience on that matter? I can tell you horror story about that bearing breaking appart. Ben |
