Todd, assembly lube is extra gooey stuff you use on crank bearings and
such when assembling motors. Helps with break-in. My motor sits on the
bench, gooped up with asembly lube inside waiting its rebirth...soon.
The washers you got are actually used as bearing races and go one to
each side of the bearing. I just learned that and might actually sound
like I know what I'm talking about. I installed on my tranny last week
and posted my story of not being able to insert the outer body all the
way in. Turns out there was an old cone way deep in there preventing the
install. Pulled it out with an old dental pick I got from the school
here. I love tools! Beware of old cones.

Ray.....what is assembly lube? Harper's had needle bearing sets made specifically made to replace the one's in 4 speed transmissions. In the set I got 2 washers/spacers? with the bearings. I assume the bearings go in between the spacers then I install the plunger and adjust the clutch lever to spec. Anybody else use these replacements for their 4 speeds?
