I'm doing the clutch and replacing the cross shaft bushings, amongst other things. I notice that the old one on the right side has a cutout while the left does not. I'm assuming this is to get some lube to the non-existent locating bolt, but it also has the effect of letting some grease come out of the locating bolt hole, which lets me know that grease is getting in when I'm greasing.
Since I am what would probably be considered an "enthusiastic" greaser, this is a good thing. On the inside of the bellhousing there was a lot of grease on the left side (without the cutout in the bushing) but hardly any on the right. I'm thinking of drilling a hole in both new bushings so that I always get a positive indication that grease is getting in but no accumulation inside where it doesn't belong.
What do you guys think?
