    Another good point. I have seen that, especially on clutches adjusted too tight to the clutch brake. Pedal hits the brake 4" off the floor while the driver is pushing for the floor.

    I always smear grease on them when installing, old habit.

    I’ve done a few, lasting years, never have I put any type of lubricant as oil, tranny fluid. Been working for me, I’ll just keep as I’m doing , don’t fix what’s not broke

    I’ve never greased one. Most get pretty well lube from greasing the throw out bearing

    Your left foot has a lot to do with that. Operator or a steering wheel holder.

    True, I’ve personally never broke a clutch break, wore out some, but that’s it
