Hi List,
I recently ordered a Gunst Throw-Out bearing from TRF and it arrived
yesterday. It was packaged well and I took it out of its zip lock bag
to take a look at it. I noticed right away some fibers or dirt around
the outside rim of the bearing as well as some marks in the sleeve. I
have taken a picture of the bearing the way it arrived and posted them
on the site listed below under Gunst Throw-Out bearing. I am would
appreciate hearing from people who have ordered this bearing before if
they have encountered the bearing arriving in a similar condition.
Secondly I would appreciate opinions on what this type of
"contamination" might do to the operation and life of the bearing. The
bearing turns smoothly, though it does make some noise that sounds to
me like maybe grease though having never seen one of the bearings
before I cant be sure.
Any and all thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks
Aaron
