Recently makes noise only when the clutch is depressed. Inspected the situation & found my release bearing up against my clutch all the time with no free play. I figured it wore itself out so I had the bearing replaced. Pilot bearing was inspected & found to be ok.
All back together...50 miles later the noise returns....intermitent.
I'm stumped...don't know what to check next?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks | | |

Maybe that's the reason for your premature wear,
