Clutch Masters T/O bearing

Went back to stock set up. This one needs a rebuild. Asking $200.

 

Out of curiosity, why did you go back to stock?

 

Same^

 

Pardon my ignorance what is this?

 

Throw out bearing seal blew out at 2000 miles and I'm over trying to get a new seal kit.

 

Throw out bearing for a hydraulic clutch in the manual transmission 2nd gen.

 

Thank you for this!

 

Just throwing this out there: Setting on the shelf for probably 2 years, from a group buy when I feared my stock clutch was about to go out... its still going and I don't have the desire to do this swap any more, so For Sale best offer plus shipping from 32080.

I was all excited and have the Oil cap in use in the truck... it is their aluminum Blue color and will go with the sale.

 

When I got mine, I took it apart easily by hand, and applied either Dow Corning or Castrol Red Rubber grease, to the rubber seal, because it is rubber.

So that it works. To lubricate it, to keep it hydrated/from drying out (grease is protective), and to lubricate any friction it may have against parts around it to try and prevent tearing/ripping (that I imagine would cause a leak) due to rubber being fragile.
Those above greases being around a couple bucks.
(there is probably some friction, given a TOB's job is to spin)

Why would anyone not do that?
Especially while the part is out, clean, new, and not installed/hard to get to
99% of the time on vehicles, it never hurts to lubricate things, only helps. Unless you're pouring oil on a brake pad, making something supposed to have friction become slippery

Kind of like rebuilding a brake caliper. The seal kits come with rubber grease. You don't just slap them in (some people do); they recommend to soak in the grease such as using a plastic cup
I'm sure brakes work similar. Piston, bore, DOT4, seal
