style='FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Arial","sans-serif"'>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 depressing the clutch
peddle. Upon removing the trans, I found the throw out bearing completely
worn down to the steel casting – hence the metal-on-metal sound. On
reassembly, I noted that the clutch slave cylinder put constant thrust on the
push rod keeping the bearing in contact with the pressure plate release
arms. Obviously this is what caused the throw out bearing to ware out so
fast. I replaced the master cylinder and blead the system extensively –
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????<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
