I'd get in on the GP at the Corral if I were you, I've never tried 'em but everyone rants about how good they are...

and anyone who's ever run the stock bearing retainer on the T5 has had problems with 'em sooner or later. The steel retainer and a new t/o bearing are a good idea if you're going to have it apart.

Do let us know what you come-up with...

Thnx again, no it wasnt riding the throwout, it sometimes squealed when i pushed in the clutch, it didnt do it all the time.

as far as my quadrant, what could be wrong with it if it is a piece of aluminum (d&d piece)? i did check the pins that hold it on, they are intact. over the weekend it is coming apart. i am also pulling the cable to fully inspect it, i remember a post where a guy had his D&D cable fail at low mileage.
