Well my clutch master cylinder took a crap last Weds. Got hard to shift on the way to work. Went to leave for lunch and would not go into gear with the car running. Had it trailered home.
Replaced the master and the slave. Clutch works good but it squeal faintly with the clutch pedal up. How could the bearing go bad? Could I have messed up the clutch fork? God I don't want to pull the trans right now....

Which TOB did you use when you put it back together?

It still is running the ACT TB. Wasn't squeeling until after the master cyl crapped out.
I didn't touch the trans this week, just swapped the master and slave. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

I've heard the ACT's make more noise from the begining than an oem, and they don't last as long either.... sorry!! -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....

Driving a while on the bad TOB shouldn't screw up my ACT clutch....or will it?

The reason I ask is what AWD DSM already answered. The ACT's don't seem to last as long as the OE Mitsu ones.
Personally, its a matter of opinion how long you can go with a crappy TOB. IMO, I would treat it like a bad wheel bearing because it's just about as important. Git-R-Switched ASAP!! OE TOB is cheap from the dealer anyway. Might as well man up to it and get it out of the way. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

More likely than that it will screw up the input shaft on the tranny if it siezes up. -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....

 That bearing seized??Well I picked up a TOB from Pioneer Pkwy Mitsu yesterday. I was surprised they had it in stock and it was only $35. Pulling the trans Fri. The wife is only driving the little one to preschool (2 mile, 2 days) to keep the milage off of it. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Told you it was cheap!!!
Yes, Midwests bearing seized on the shaft. I remember him prying on it with a baseball bat.... good times buddy. Make sure you use some good wheel bearing grease on the input shaft and pack the bearing with it before you install it. That will help it from doing what Midwests did. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

Well, this came out of the bell housing when I pulled off the inspection cover. Plastic backer from the TBO I would guess.
Piece matches the new TOB on left. Not good

Well, hopefully it didn't cause any more damage. Won't know to I pull the trans. I dissassembled everything, all I need to do is pull the axles and drop the trans. At least there wasn't anything that looked like clutch fingers laying in there.

TOB Is trashed!!! Came off easy, thank God.
