Question 3.2 Omega Spring on Trans Pivot Pin

Hey Fellas,

So I was drove back from a long round trip, to Stockton and back. Couple of days later I devloped a stick clutch feel, damn not again

I was under her working on other stuff and asked my wifey to press the clutch for me, confirmed, it was sticky due to dirt build up. I would normally remove the Helper Arm with Omega spring to clean and lube the shift shaft and pivot pin.

Being lazy, I decided to attempt to just clean and lube the pivot pin on the trans where the Omega spring rotates when the clutch pedal is depressed.

Remarkably, that is all it took, she is smooth now.

QUESTION: has anyone used some kind of dust boot for the pivot pin or for that matter the Omega spring assembly. Every oil change, I am constantly cleaning that damn area for dirt. If I skip the maintenance it will start developing a stick clutch pedal feel and Yes the T/O bearing and Guide Tube and even pilot are brand spanking new and properly lubed using hi-temp Porsche Lube.

Jim
