I'm right about the 1 year mark since I put a new clutch kit in my '65 and the release bearing is starting to squeal. I got it at Napa. When I installed the T5 last fall, I re-used my release bearing and pressure plate.
Anyone else experience a release bearing showing crap out signs after only a year? I know the parts today are nowhere near as well made as they used to be but, jeez!, one year is ridiculous.

hi david. it happens more then you think, work at a parts warehouse and have seen it a lot more in the last couple of years, get a clutch set back in bad at least 2 a month for on reason or another most of the time its the pressure plate. get some that have the wrong bearing in the kit to. quallity control at the plants is down. another bad return are water pumps. what a pain when you do the work yourself good luck with the next one..mike j

I.ve had trouble with TO brgs. also for the last ten years or so. Seems like the cheapes in the litle brown box last longer than the major brands.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
