12k and T/O bearing failing?
bought brand new t/o bearing and lubricated with valvoline synthetic grease (liberally) and I hear bearing rattling sound that disappears when the clutch pedal is pushed....this would be my throw out bearing, no?
If not, what else could/would it be?
thanks

What kind of clutch do you have? Some clutches rattle more than others, especially if its tqed down to the flywheel at the minimum specs. My clutch used to rattle some just like your describing but after my last motor swap I tqed it down a little more and it went away. This is with the same clutch, TO bearing, ect ect ect. The only thing I changed was before it was tqed about 23lb-feet I think and the 2nd time I tqed it more like 30lb-feet.
At least, since thats the only thing I changed I figured thats what fixed the problem.

I have a lightwieght flywheel and 6-puc ceramic sprung hub clutch...I tightened heavy duty pressure plate to minimum torque specs (19 ft-lbs?) very carefully per manual...I can jack up the car and spec them tighter. I was somehow under the understanding to not overtorque the pressure plate to the flywheel.
Well at least I will not have to remove the tranny to tighten pressure plate...
btw, thank you all for your great feedback!
