I'm on my Third Clutch replacement now because of the wear I get on the trans. bearing support sleeve where the throwout bearing slides. The clutches and pressure plates are fine, just the bearing retainer sleeve wears out where the throwout bearing slides. It gets progressively stiffer and sticky until you can hardly push the clutch pedal down at all. Lately it's been sticking on release too so sometimes it grabs like you've been rearended by a truck! This stuff has ALL been replaced with brand new parts each time I've been in there. Anybody else having this much fun or know of a brand of throwout bearing that won't chew the aluminum sleeve up and get sticky? No problems with the 5.0's, they have a steel sleeve, but it won't fit the 4 Cyl. transmission. I'd like to plant my foot in the ass of the guy that decided to use aluminum for that bearing sleeve!
