Manual transmission scraping/hissing 850

Ray,

I would not pass along this kind of advise. I am not familiar with the clutch assembly on an 850, but if it is like just about every other manual-transmissioned car, you wouldn't want to be introducing any kind of lubricant into the clutch area in an attempt to lubricate the throw-out bearing.

Automotive clutches are dry-plate designs which do not like lubricants.

Following this advice would immediately move you from a noisy throw-out bearing problem to a complete clutch job problem.
