What to expect after S/C Bearing replacement
What should I expect after replacing the supercharger bearing? Will there be smoother engagement? I know the grinding noise will be gone.
I'm overdue for Service C as well.

fasho see you tomorrow. I need service C as well. I think all I need is a tranny service. Can you turn the notification that I am overdue without flashing the car back to stock?

YES YOU CAN RE-GAP YOUR ORIG. CLUTCH.CLEARANCE SHOULD BE .35-.45 MM,THERE WILL(SHOULD) BE SHIMS UNDER THE EXISTING S/C CLUTCH,IF YOU CAN'T GET THE CORRECT GAP YOU WILL NEED TO FIND SHIMS OR REPLACE THE FRICTION ASSY.REMOVE THE SHIMS AS NEEDED TO GAIN CORRECT MEASUREMENT.I ALWAYS SCUFF THE FRICTION AND CLUTCH (ON A USED CLUTCH)SIDES OF THE CONTACT SURFACES THEN ADD A LITTLE LAPPING COMPOUND TO SEAT/ADD MORE GRIP WHEN ENGAGING. A NEW BEARING WILL ONLY HELP IF YOURS IS NOISEY/COMING APART OR ROUGH FEELING.IT WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANYMORE BOOST BUT WHEN SHIMMED CORRECTLY IT WILL REMOVE THE CHIRP/HESISTATION FROM THE CLUTCH SLIPPING.
