When properly adjusted, mechanical clutch linkage leaves a gap between the TO bearing and the clutch fingers but it appears that hydraulic systems allow the bearing to spin all the time. Is this correct? If so, I'm wondering if TO bearings designed for hydraulic setups are different than mechanical.

The reason I ask is because I'm installing a B&B clutch and TO bearing to replace a diaphragm clutch in a factory hydraulic setup and wonder if the old style TO bearing will be damaged by spinning continuously.
