I'm having an annoying issue with my twin plate setup in the GT8. It was there with the W58 but at that time i thought it was actually a problem with the box not the clutch...still there with the tremec (actually worse) so 99% sure it's the throwout bearing.
Basically when the engine is under load at low rpm the throwout bearing rattles like a bitch...very very noisey. as soon as you have any decent revs on board or you are only dawdling along the noise goes away.
I don't think the clutch fork is pulling the bearing off the pressure plate enough so they just touch and under these conditions and make a hell of a racket.
I have no idea why only under load at low rpm but does anyone have a potential fix? If i have to pull the whole thing out again i won't be a happy camper but could be what it comes down to as you can't live with this noise.

what happens under various conditions when you 'slightly' load the throwout bearing by putting light pressure on the pedal?

Hey Stew, as soon as any pressureoad is applied to the clutch pedal the noise stops..strictly an in gear problem when the thrust bearing should be sitting there doing nothing
