I'll be the first of many to say: Clutch flex line is collapsed internally.=

About 15K miles ago I replaced the clutch (1960 BT7) and put in a new throw=
out bearing. Recently I heard the dreaded metal-on-metal sound when depres=
sing the clutch peddle. Upon removing the trans, I found the throw out bear=
ing completely worn down to the steel casting =E2=80=93 hence the metal-on-=
metal sound. On reassembly, I noted that the clutch slave cylinder put cons=
tant thrust on the push rod keeping the bearing in contact with the pressur=
e plate release arms. Obviously this is what caused the throw out bearing t=
o ware out so fast. I replaced the master cylinder and blead the system ext=
ensively =E2=80=93 absolutely no air in the system. Yet the slave cylinder =
continues to press the throw out bearing into the pressure plate. Any ideas=
as to why this is happening????=20
