Subject:Clutch housing bushing ?
From:Frank Condelli
Date:Thu, 10 Apr 2003 06:12:21 EDT

Any of you know what's up with the bushing for the rear main shaft in 
the clutch housing ?  That's the bushing right behind the rear main shaft oil 
seal behind the throw out bearing.  I have looked and looked in Bentley and 
they do not talk about this bushing and how to determine if it is good or 
bad.  I have searched ETKA page by page and this bushing is not there.  The 
bushing does come out as I have it here in my hand.  It comes out after the 
oil seal is removed.  It certainly looks worn and the shaft is not fitting 
very well so seems to me it should be replaced.  So where's the info on this 
bushing hiding ?  Does one need to replace the clutch housing to get this 
bushing ?  HELP !

Cheers��
