Throw Out Bearing?

RE: Throw Out Bearing?
I had a tob from Oreilly that made noise with the clutch pedal out, then the next one made noise when pushing the clutch in. I bought an OEM one the next time and haven't had any
trouble since.
Don't skimp on cheap tob's.

RE: Throw Out Bearing?
Thanks for all the responses everyone. I am still wondering what it is though because people are all saying it could be different things. So it is definately either the throw out bearing or the pilot bearing? There's no way its the linkage or anything simple?
One more thing, I heard you can lubricate the throw out bearing through the clutch fork opening as a temporary fix. Should I try this?

The clutch fork opening is that hole in the bottom of the transmission right? I might spray some chain grease up there and see if it has any affect or if i can hit the TOB.
Any comments on this?

Edit: To answer the guy above me: I wouldn't try this. Chances are the clutch disk will end up getting some oil mist on it, and will slip. Pull the transmission and fix it right. Truthfully, the second time I had my transmission out to replace the clutch pivot fork, I had my 15 year old brother help me and we had it out, the fork replaced, and the tranny bolted back in... took 4 hours start to finish.

Take that cover off the bottom of the transmission and use some kind of lubricant spray it on the bearing it will probably work but it's a question of how long it will last.
It's not that bad IMO if you would have to do it every few months.
