MG MGA - Clutch grease

No, I'm not going to grease the clutch face. When I opened the clutch plate box there was/is a small plastic "pouch" of lubricant included. Can I surmise that it is for the pilot/spigot bushing in the crankshaft? Thanks again, Tom

That's for greasing the splines on the shaft.

Thanks Frank, after opening the "pouch" I realized it was grease, not oil. Regards, Tom

If it's grease, it's for lubing the muffler bearings, If it's oil, use it to top up the blinker fluid!

Cheers,

Larry,
You have been on these forums too long! When is your wife's birthday present (of 2 or 3 years ago) going to be ready to be driven on the road?

Hi Peter,

The engine and frame are complete and I have farmed out the body work, so I'm waiting on dogleg replacement and paint. Hopefully, the body will be done by the end of the year or thereabouts and I can spend the next few months getting the wiring and interior done.

I'm shooting for a first drive in April. Weather permitting, I might even need to take a trip up north to Canada!
