[TR] Gunst throw out bearing question

[Bob Rochlin]

I got a Gunst bearing after having, about three times, changed out the stock throw out bearing and tried all the different fixes for a "sticky" clutch in the process.  The Gunst bearing fixed the "sticky" clutch issue completely.  I've never had an issue with any noise form the bearing, but I have the spring pressure set lower that the Gunst instructions suggested.  I did all this at least 6 years ago.  Take care.

    An "occasional" squeal might also be a dry pilot bearing. It will
    also come and go with pedal movement. Did you grease it a "million"
    years ago?

      So back a million years ago when I was
          rebuilding the engine on my TR4A (by the way, isn't it odd
          that the "4" key and the "$" key are only a shift away from
          each other? I think not!) anyway,, I decided to go with The
          Roadster Factory "Magic Clutch" setup which included the Gunst
          throw out bearing. My Triumph has developed an occasional
          squeal much like a bearing going bad. Naturally, I think the
          worse but what experiences good or bad have you guys had using
          the Gunst throwout bearing?
      Secondly, what is the down side of
          removing the spring that keeps the bearing on the clutch
          fingers?
      Thanks
