possible throw out bearing problem? please help

[jonk00000]

i just changed my clutch act 2900 w/ street disc. ive always had this constant grinding sound coming from the tranny. sounds like tob rubbing on the pressure plate. ive adjusted the pedal many times, changed my tranny fluid, and changed my transfer caswe fluid but still same noise.

it will grind louder under accelaration and i will still hear it on decelaration, noise will completley go away when i push in the clutch

sorry I dont have an actual explanation for you, but, I have had the same problem. I cant figure out what the deal is. Whenever you push in the clutch, it all goes away. I have replaced the cluth and the throwout bearing, and I thought it went away, but it all starte up again a few weeks ago.

hopefully someone can figure it out.

same problems, except mine sounds like a vacuum leak instead of a grinding - but it is the clutch/tob since it goes away when I push in the clutch pedal

did you do the clutch yourself, because if you did, do remember seeing a metal bushing on the end of your crank, i'm to familiar with the act flyweel but with the fidanza compared to stock doesn't have the required opening and will not sit up against the crank flush enough to get the bolts on, i have had a shop do this to me, it destroyed the trans in a few months, or i might just be how the clutch sounds since it is upgraded

dont you have to shime the ball that holds the fork when you upgrade the clutch, and when you push the clutch down, isnt thats like the only time you are using the tob, if its not draging. I am not sure if these cars have the pilot bearing but that would be my geuss at this point. If these cars dont have it then I would think that tob is draging. Regardless the trans have to come down.

I have the same noise and did the same thing to correct the problem except replace the clutch disk. I took off my tranny trying to troubleshoot the same irritating noise only to find out that when I put my finger in the place where the input shaft goes into the clutch disk it makes a similar rattling sound. It goes away with the pedal in and you can hear it with the pedal out. Its even worse when the car is cold. I believe its a quality control thing with ACT street disks because my stock did not behave this way...

Hey did anyone figure this out I'm having the same problem right now. I've changed the master clutch cylinder and I'm going to change the slave right now because they were leaking, any advice would be appriciated.

Thanks

Same problem here, but I thought it was because of my rev synchro. See this post:
