So I'd like to compile a small list of places were there are no grease fittings and probably really should be and reasons why or why not.

Clutch release shaft, seems like there should be a grease fitting on eaither side of shaft on bottom of bell housing??

Break cross shaft

Ebrake shaft?

The last thing I was thinking about is the radius ball, why not weld a nut on the top plate were the hole is and run a tube from nut to the inside of the bell housing to a coupler on the behouing with a zerk pressed into the out side of bell housing so it can get greased every 500 miles with everything else instead of felt pad? Or even just drill bottom plate weld on nut, drill and press on zerk fitting and still leave felt pad in place.

Is there any were else that does not have grease fittings from the factory that would benefit from having them?
