Did that a few years ago on my B and it wasn't a few thousand miles before
one (or more) balls froze and I found myself with a very simple steel on
steel friction throw-out bearing.  It simply stopped being a bearing!  I
went back to the carbon/graphite one and have never had a mechanical
problem in any of my cars.
