[TR] a rough week for cars

[Joe Curry]

Not necessarily.  If the bearing is loose the vibrations might cause noise
that is stopped when the bearing contacts the pressure plate fingers.  But
in most situations, you are probably right.

Joe, don't I wish you were right.  But the TO bearing would stop 
making noise, not start, when I release the clutch.  And with the 
clutch depressed and the car rolling it wouldn't start making noise 
whenever I engage any gear, and stop when I put it back into neutral.
