Are we talking about the same thing?

The problem to which I refer is the persistent scraping, screeching whirling sound that is apparently a total mystery on the neon.org board and with so many others reported here (search). Yep, the same mystery unaffected by numerous input shaft bearing, TOB, clutch pack, output bearing, etc. replacements. Heck, some guys are even pulling the inspection covers and removing the oil slinger from the interior of input shaft in a desperate measure to rid themselves of the problem.

Thanks for your kind words but swabbing grease around the input shaft bearing/seal housing the TOB rides on isn't even in the ballpark. Thanks anyhow.
