Re: [ihc] Throwout myths and legends...

Joel-

Pickups and travelalls have greaseable throwout bearings. Yes, you grease
the collar, which greases the bearing on the inside.

The T18 input shaft appears to be the same as the T98. I'm guessing, then,
that the bell housings must be the same, because the clutches and flywheels
are the same.

If the fork that pushes the throwout bearing is the same as well, the
easiest thing to do is use the other throwout bearing.

I have a couple if you want to compare.
