Re: Clutch lever

Hey Jim, The throw out bearing shaft is supposed to have a circlip in a groove near the end of the shaft. It 's job is to keep the arm in place on the shaft.

Go to your local NAPA store. They have both Valvoline Synthetic and Non-Synthetic "Racing" Oil as part of their product line. It may not be on the shelf, but they can have it for you "tomorrow".
