I own a 2000 mustang gt with a t-45 tranny. Recently i had a king cobra clutch kit installed and after about 2500 miles the throw-out bearing started making noise. My mechanic replaced it and also installed an frpp clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster. He adjusted it so the throw-out bearing is never spinning unless the clutch pedal is depressed, yet within two weeks the bearing was making noise again. I suspected the bearing retainer might be the cause, but it's a steel retainer and he said there was no sign of galling or distortion. The only explaination he can think of is that possibly they had a bad batch of bearings that didn't get properly greased or something. If anyone has had the same issue or knows a possible cause, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My king cobra t/o bearing went out after 1k miles. i replaced it with a 36 dollar one from O'reillys, and 12k later it's still workin like a champ.

I just replaced the TOB in my 97 4v. All the guys son SVTP suggested the TIMKEN tob. I guess it's made out of kevlar, blah blah blah. But supposedly it work better. Some of the guys got it at advance auto parts, I had to go with the low budget as I was in a pinch. It's about $45. Id go for it.
