OWB in tranny

[Upbasher]

I have noticed that when you get water in the tranny the one way bearing in there quits working and it just slips.
Once I dried it out it started working normally again.
Just thought that was interesting. Does water usually cause owb's to stop working?

They work on friction. This is why sometimes you have to clean the one on the motor and you never grease your trans. A little water should not have that much of an effect though.

Ooooohhhhh.....I thought they worked on magnetism. Haha learn someting every day I guess.
But yeah there was a lot of water in the tranny so that must've been it.
So, I shouldn't grease owb's, eh?

No no grease at all
