Lubrication is over rated anyway.

In some case, yes....but not all in my experience.

I'll check mine when I pull out:laugh:
What kind of grease u pack it with Rexrunner?

 

[rexrunner]

use a small flathead to reove the black seal, use brake cleaner to get all the gunk out, let dry, then i used wheel bearing grease. might not be the best, but if it can stand those condtions then im sure its fine. btw the stock gunk was white/grey, new was black

Yea i need one soon! Got the stage 2 clutch and I'm just waiting for the URD flywheel and they i will replace my throwout bearing also.

That thing is gonna get WAYYYY overheated...
Wrong type of grease to be using amigo. I would suggest doing that over with something of a higher quality.

 

[rexrunner]

just bought some wgk2 grease today! its what the vw use, so i think im safe. the bearing takes maybe 5 mins to pack after cleaning out so im good lol

 

[Murderface]

Damn it! I just noticed mine is making noise now:thumpdown:

all the more reason to upgrade to a stage IV clutch and Fidanza flywheel

I'd like to see another group buy on Fidanza flywheels:rock:
seeing that I'll be in there already:smile:

 

[ntinhri]

Is it possible to "repack it" with out pulling the trans down?

Not that I know of Steve, but please let us know if you figure out a way.
This will save the whole community a lot of time & labor on this common procedure.

Lets generate a write-up if anyone figures this one out.
