clutch scraping issue

[99 gst spyder]

When I bought my tranny from jack, there is a scraping sound coming from inside the bell housing. The pivot ball is shimed. Is it possible my TOB is scraping the PP fingers? Noise when clutch is (1") pressed and goes away when the clutch is depress.

I took the tranny out and I found the there is scraping marks on my half of all my PP fingers kinda look like a quarter moon, and it looks like it's coming from the TOB. It's doesn't look normal.

I'm wondering if unshim it would help the TOB not being to close to the fingers?

Thanks

could it be that the TOB is just bad? or was it installed backwards? was the Pressure plate fully bolted down? Are you running an organic clutch? sprung, unsprung? As of right now as you had described the wear and scrapping noise it does make mean lean toward that it is that the TOB is riding on the fingers. Is the clutch slipping or burning when you have depressed the pedal?

Everything is fine while driving just the sound that is annoying. Act 2600 with sprung street disc. Clutch is install and bolted right.

Is the TOB suppose to ride on the PP fingers? putting it all back on the car and will deffinately find out if it's the throwout bearing. I just bought and brand new OEM TOB and taking the shim off and see if that helps.

Okay, I finally got the motor in now and started right up. No leak whatsoever. No more noise from inside the bell housing anymore which is great.

The only problem I encounter was when I try to reverse out of my driveway, instead of going backward, it went forward like as if I'm in 4th gear. I'm stumped. I'm pretty sure it was in 4th gear, I couldn't get it in reverse even if I try a hard right shift And i think I can get into 5th.

Please anyone.

Sounds like something to do with the shifter cables. Did you accidently bend the bracket or anything.

Or they might have to be adjusted.

When I install the shift cable in, I have to bend it a lot in order to bolt it to the tranny/bellhousing. So the cables are almost like a rainbow.

Cables is 1" under the tb in between two two water hose that goes into the TB. I have a magnus intake manifold so it sits pretty low.

Take out the reverse switch, see if you have the washer underneath it.

Sorry guys. I took out the shifter assembly out and there was a rubber piece that is stuck preventing me to shift more to the right so I took it out inside the shifter cage and now it could shift more to the right now. I just didn't have enough travel to the right. Now it's going into reverse. Bushing was mis-align or something like that.

The old TOB seems to be bad. It's good with the new throw out bearing. Maybe a defected TOB.

maybe an ACT TOB , i just replaced mine with OEM make sure you get the clip installed correctly you will know if its not, and if you get a new clutch fork and pivot ball you will not need shims because shims are only a band aid for a worn in part.

while your trans it out you should pant it

Tranny is brand new. I have an oem tob on it. Sure is working good now.
