I thought about that, but it is a non-issue. Only the back of the TOB is
open, in a gap about 3/16" wide. Which once installed onto the TOB carrier
the gap is practically closed... And the opening faces AWAY from the clutch
disc, so the only way any lubrication could get on it is during sudden
braking in which any grease that is being flung into the air in the bell
housing is caused to suddenly surge forward... and even then it has to
somehow penetrate the pressure plate.
