They likely replaced the TOB and not the retainer too. Assuming that's what happened, these mechanics should know better.
A little grease will quiet it down. Afirewall and quadrant adjuster will also help if not eliminate the noise - but some people still experience noise.

I am not sure what he did, BUT I did take it by his shop and he said there is a little play inbetween the top of the pedal and starting to engage, hence the squeel, the TOB rubbing on the pressure plate. DUH so then he said give it 300 more miles, I have already put 700 on the job, and if the two surfaces do not polish themselves quiet(unlikely he said, but possible) then to get the quadrant, firewall adjuster and new cable, and hell adjust it. Then he said give that 3-500 miles and if its still noisy, relucantly spray some with lithium grease on it and avoid the clutch at all costs. he said go through the clutch cable adjuster removable cover.

do u know what it even looks like???
it would have nothing to do with a slipping clutch... the clutch surface touches the flywheel...the TOB is behind the clutch between the tranny...has nothing to do with the acual mating surface of clutch and flywheel
ORIGINAL: Dsmfighter
So your transmition instructor told you to put a lubrication on the throw out bearing...which spins...and your not suffering from a slipping clutch?

u do know your suppose to lube the TOB as well... made that mistake....never had a prob with it... removed the transmisson to fix it...put it backtogeather...****er whinned like a bitch...called up my transmission teacher to be like wtf did i do wrong here...he said if i didnt re lube the TOB it prob would be squeaking

I'm well aware of wtf is going on inside of a clutch assembly...I'm ASE certified andhave a degree in automotive science. Putting an excessive amount ofwet lubricant on a device which spins at a high rate of RPMSwill causesthe lube to fling everywhere.Excessive wet based lube+ friction material= slipping clutch.You should use a dry film of graphite to lube the bearing. You could use a wet based lube, but would have to be EXTREMELY stinggy with the amount your putting on there.

lol hey asshat i am also ASE certified..so please spare me... and who said anything about extreme amounts of lubrication.. and i HIGHLY doubt a tiny bit of lube is going to squeeze itself between the flywheel and friction surface of clutch...and if any at all does it will be such a small amount it wouldnt matter... oh and i lubed mine...no clutch problems...

RE: TOB question, just replaced
you might be able to see it through the cover. the bearing maybe covering up the affected area. I am actually pulling my tranny out tonight to changeout my clutch and flywheel. I am going to try to lightly blend out the galling on the retainer. I have also read tat the retainer should be lubed. I wouldn't lube the hell out of it but a nice thin coat of grease defintely wouldn't hurt. I wuldnt however grease he bearing as hy are self lubricated ad like what was discussed before It would probably sling grease everywhere making a mess and posibly causing clutch failure
