Throwout bearing noise
1985 Camaro with T5 trans and stock hydraulic setup clutch.
My throwout bearing was making noise so I replaced it. Now 1 week later it is starting to make the same noise again. I replaced it with a quality brand part.
Is there adjustments to be made? Why would it start making noise after only 1 week? If you put even the slightest pressure on the clutch pedal the noise goes away.
Is it the bearing? Could it be something else?

Re: Throwout bearing noise
Probably just got a bad bearing. Same thing happened to me when I replaced mine a few years ago. I just took it out and the parts store gave me a replacement under the warranty.

Re: Throwout bearing noise
Is there any way to adjust the stock hydraulic clutch setup? I had to pull the clutch fork back to get the bearing onto it. It is defiantly sitting tight to the pressure plate fingers.

Re: Throwout bearing noise
first check that the fork is in fact seated on the ball. if so. then do your clutch adjustment. you need at least 3 quarters inch of pedal travel before you feel the TO bearing touch the PP.

Re: Throwout bearing noise
there HAS to be a way to adjust pedal travel . it will be on the link going between the pedal and the clutch master cyl. that link being too long will keep the TO in contact with the PP. which is what you don't want. usually they are threaded with a lock nut. depending on your size and/or flexibility, it can be tough to get at. but it is there
