Smelly throwout bearing
So I was getting ready to swap my transmission and ordered a new clutch. I took it upon myself to smell my new throwout bearing when I removed it new from the bag. So if anyone was wondering what a new throwout bearing smells like, I have to say it stinks like a pair of moldy old shoes.

Cheers to an idle Thursday night.

Agreed. When I installed my GMPP, I pulled the throwout bearing out of the bag & thought my ex wife was standing behind me
