throwout bearing noise!!

Coupe5oh · 04-29-2002, 07:45 PM

My t/o bearing is making noise, not all the time but usually when im at a light trying to look cool

, how hard would it be to just change it? i have installed a t-5 in my gravel driveway so im somewhat inclined to perform some major work, problem is i dont have alot of time, and have to have my car everyday, dang clutch and t/o is fairly new, with some hard sticky tire lauches on it (im never getting a motorsport clutch again) I might order a centerforce t/o bearing for 33$ and get it over with, but keep my fms disk and Pressure plate,

what do i do? unbolt the bellhousing?? and start working? and is the centerforce t/o bearing really any more durable?

thanx fellas......

Well, I just put in a Centerforce dual friction clutch (in my driveway), and I can tell you that you will need to remove the tranny to replace the t/o bearing. You can probably get by with leaving the bellhousing bolted up to the motor, but then you have to kinda fish around to get the clutch fork back onto the pivot ball. Good luck!!
