What can cause a t/o bearing to go bad over and over

[Jfoster03]

I have a 03 gt and my t/o bearing went bad so I dropped the tranny and went ahead and replaced the clutch , pilot , t/o bearing put everything back together and I had some seriously bad vibration in the clutch pedal. I checked it to me not knowing what I was doing so I took it to my local tranny shop and he said the throw out bearing was bad again , so my question is what could be causing my car to eat t/o bearings?

so my question is what could be causing my car to eat t/o bearings?

Just wondering.

How often to you "adjust" the clutch pedal by pulling up on it?

How often to do set at lights with the clutch pedal held in?

Who made the throw out bearing? Good maker or off shore?

Do you know if the throw out bearing was lubed and how before initial install?

I adjusted it once that way , I never ride the clutch I just throw it in nuetral , it was a duralast clutch kit , I think you’ve answered my question I didn’t lube it before install.

Do yourself a favor and pick up a Ford Performance bearing. I've had the same issues you had and it was with the "kit" bearings.

A new OEM Cable with an aluminum quadrant and firewall adjuster would be a helpful upgrade too, first thing I do. Stick with OEM for the most part if available.

 

[I only know what I know]

Did you use a plastic alignment tool that came with your Duralast clutch kit? Did you check your flywheel with a dial indicator after removing the old clutch?
