Hey guys,
Started getting the infamous throwout bearing noise Mustang's are famous for shortly after purchasing the Mach 1. It's now getting pretty bad when cold, so I'm going to change it out. Since the trans has to come out, I'm also going to change the pilot bearing, clutch fork/pivot stud, and clutch.
My question is grease related. The plan was to put a small amount of grease on the TOB, pilot bearing, clutch fork, etc. Plan on using the Red Line CV2 grease. This is a common issue on these cars, and I'm trying to make the TOB last as long as possible. The throwout and pilot bearing both came with a light coating of light blue grease on them already. I know the CV2 isn't compatible with many greases.
Should I clean out the grease that came on them and use the CV2? Or just leave it alone and use the CV2 on the clutch fork?
