I don't think that would be your problem, from the sounds of it, the clutch plates aren't separating. It sounds like your clutch needs some adjustment. As for the grease on the clutch lining, It would cause it to slip under load(you let out the clutch in 5th gear and the tractor sits there). Yes, you can overgrease the pilot bearing on a tractor. If you ever noticed, the pilot bearings on most of the letter series tractors were able to be greased. When the Hundred series came out, they were permanently sealed. This was because IH was having trouble with clutches needing replacement because the extra grease got on the clutch facings . If you read a letter series manual, it says to only put 1 or 2 pumps of grease in the pilot bearing. I don't think it would matter too much if you overgreased the throwout bearing, it would just get thrown around the clutch housing. Just don't really overdo it. Hope this helps!
