Squeaky throwout bearing ?

Do a search for how I fixed the TOB squeak. 20 minutes and 3 bucks for some Lithium grease. And you don't have to pull the freaking tranny . Sheesh - what do you have to lose ? Some of these "helpful hinters" love to spend other's time and money.

We helpful hinters are just suggesting the proper way to do things. Spraying lithium grease up into the dustcover is not a good idea at all. All it takes is just a tiny bit of overspray mist to make it's way to the clutch disc and/or flywheel and bye bye clutch. Just fingerprints on the clutch disc and/or flywheel can ruin a clutch.

And that spray lithium grease will last just a few thousand miles before you will have to spray it again, and again risk getting overspray on the clutch. Not a good idea. Stick with what is the correct thing to do.

There's a long way between the TOB and the clutch surface , which faces the flywheel, and is obscured by the pressure plate anyway.

Some folks may not have a garage and/or lift (such as me !) , so I'm advising the simplest solution imaginable. Which worked for me, but I do understand that this method may not work for everybody. Worth a try , unless money/time is no object...

Are you guys talking about the t-45?
