Sounds like the clutch is not adjusted properly!Are you saying it has a new pressure plate and clutch disc in it now or that you are going to replace them?[8D]

(1) Bad pilot bushing/bearing?

(2) Bad transmission input shaft bearing?

(3) Contaminated clutch disc surfaces?

(4) Pressure plate not torqued down evenly (and has warped)?


I had a car where item #2 was a problem that recurred at about every 50,000 miles. I suspect that the root cause was either a bellhousing or tranny case that wasn't drilled quite right, and the tranny input shaft wasn't quite concentric with the crankshaft. Have you replaced the bell? Some aftermarket bells and scattershields aren't all that accurately made.
