I didn't get to drop the engine in this past weekend, was way too nice outside, and had to do something with the family to enjoy it!

Back to it now though, and was looking in the manual about installing the throw-out bearing. It says to lightly lubricate the clutch lever crown and spring retention crown where they contact the bearing, and fill the inner groove of the bearing with the same grease. It seems that the centerforce bearing I got has grease through it and in the inner groove. Does it need more than it is supplied with?

It also says to apply a light coat of grease to the transmission front bearing retainer. What are they talking about here? The fork?

Anything I should also look at while I am at this point?
The bearing retainer is the plate and the sleeve on the front of the TRANNY. The inner portion of the bearing slides on it. Lightly loube it and the TO bearing should be PRE- Packed. Ford says the non spin HUMP should face the inner portion of the FORK. I have seen them all different ways. Hope this helps
I was wondering about the hump. I was thinking it would face away from the fork. Thanks for the clarification.
