- This is probably confirming the obvious, but I'd like to hear from the List if my suspicions are correct. I now have a high-pitched metal-to-metal squeal when I just start to lightly press on my clut

- It seems that many of the "upgrade" bearings have this problem even worse. The original bearing was apparently a special design that turned very easily. The intention of the clutch design was to hav

- Thanks Randall, Preloading the bearing makes a lot of sense; my TOB seems fine once it's loaded. I'd like to try this. Any suggestions as to how and where to add the extra spring to do this? Brian an

- Nelson Riedel reprinted Wiard Pless' translation of Joachim Gunst's directions ... they say to replace one of the tunnel hold-down bolts with a longer bolt (1"), then use a nut to fix the spring anc

- If it is any consolation, I had the same thing happen, however, I started driving the car more and it went away, and stayed away, until I started driving the car less. It is quite certainly your thro

- I've been reading this thread with a sense of deja vu all over again. My GT6's TO bearing used to squeal whenever I wasn't depressing the clutch pedal. I even pulled the tranny out once and replaced

- I like the latter theory ... the bearings have lube inside and it definitely thins as they warm up. Randall == This list supported in part by The Vintage Triumph Register == http://www.vtr.org

- When did the squeal start? Did you recently replace the pressure plate? Perhaps with a Borg & Beck with the "cranked" fingers? Many of us 6 owners have been through this very same annoying thing. It
