ACT Throwout Bearing Rattles

[smokestack]

Whats up guys i just bought a 95 talon tsi a week ago. Its has an ACT 2600 clutch with a fidanza lightened flywheel. 400 miles into the break in i hear this horrible metal rattlin sound. I know its the throwout bearing cause it goes away under load and when the clutch is pressed. I read that people have had bad spells with them i just wanted to know how long would it last before it broke if i drove easy on it .( Like 3 grand shifts)

EVery car would be different do you have a oem tob? Not sure how you can estimate how long it would hold up, pull her apart and find out what that rattle is for sure. Then fix it while your there.

most aftermarket TOB's create chatter. whenever replacing a clutch its best to use an oem one
