There's a new roller bearing used by carls now, no more delrin washers being used.
They are actually transmission thrust bearings. .
I've wondered about using a thrust bearing like that for years, but never sourced one. Do they recommend any kind of lube for it? Graphite maybe?
I thought the same thing AK.... looked like the best thing since sliced bread, I've used them before...
They did not hold up to moisture or any dust/dirt.
made for constant oil bath use.
I am running the Carl's bearing with zero issues and it definitely works better. It is an inexpensive piece. I don't mind if I have to replace it periodically because it is an improvement over the washers.
IMO....As far as the delrin washers for the Secondary TSS clutches....
The purpose of the delrin washers is to allow one end of the spring to slightly rotate, smoothly, as the springs cycles through its compression stroke.
The stock cup does not allow this as the end of the spring digs into the cup and the friction on the steel cup to the sheave keeps it in place.
Both ends of the spring do not need to rotate.... just needs to keep the spring from binding on the 10° or so of twist needed.
If you place the delrin washer between the cup and spring, the spring will dig into the soft delrin washer ... not enough to ruin it... but it will have a pressure point on at the spring end.... I know that many have used them IN the cup for years and are happy with it... I was not.
SO... I run two UNDER the spring cup... it does not matter if the spring stays fixed in the cup... because now, the cup will turn.. and you have slick plastic on plastic that allows for ultra easy "twist" of the spring. The 10° of twist will never generate enough heat to fuse them together... and, if you have a clutch that gets so hot you are melting the delrin washers together... You have MUCH bigger problems.
Thats my two cents.

what part is the “cup” on this diagram?
