It also happens on new clutches while they are being broken in. Pilot bearings are hard to tell if they are worn I usually keep one on hand when I swap clutches and just look at it to see if any of the needle bearings are missing or damaged. The throw out bearing should be replaced every time you put in a new clutch. | |
