I'm getting a ticking noise that goes away when I push in the clutch.Any ideas? Bent Fingers on pressure plate?,throw out bearing? I'd like to know if anyone else has had this problem and what was it.

Welcome to my world bro. My final fix was to install a firewall adjuster and and increase tension on the cable and throwout bearing until the noise goes away. Yes, I've got a brand new bearing and a brand new steel retainer as well as new clutch, fork, and flywheel. I can't pin down just what exactly is responsible for the noise but ensuring that the bearing is firmly seated against the clutch is what makes it go away. It's not exactly a bad thing either. When the ticking returns, I know it's time to give one or two more turns of the adjuster as the clutch wears or the cable stretches.
