I just received two new clutch release bearings for my '12 Stelvio, I'm planning on doubling up with 2 bearings as described on another thread , has anyone else used a double thrust bearing set up with success ? Also trying to figure out what type of grease if any, to use, can't find info on that in the service manual.
Thanks in advance.
 
HI Stella, had clutch failure this year on '09 NTX took it all apart and looks like the release bearing failed though not conclusively, but also showed wear on push rod and both push rod end caps, one which bears on the bearing and the other which bears on the friction plate, and scoring on the diaphragm actuator plate. All those parts look like they got too hot. Made a temporary push rod which had to be 2mm longer to get correct clutch action but have no idea which part is worn so replacing them all. Might be worth checking the whole assembly which means getting the box off. No sign of any grease in any of it when i took it apart, thought there might be a bit of oil feed from gearbox to the bearing since there are seals on the push rod and O ring on the actuator which will be there for a reason. Still waiting for parts.
