Throwout bearing problems

Throwout bearing problems - 03/13/10 10:22 PM

What would cause the cast iron part of the throwout bearing to break in half? Alignment problem or just a bad part? It's a Napa part, US made and about 5 months old with maybe 1,200 miles.

About a month back I got hung up in traffic for 45min or so and it started squealing/grinding with the clutch in, I figured the bearing went out, it had about 1/4" clearance from the fingers to the bearing so it wasn't turning all the time while driving.

The application is a '68 318/833 Dart.

Dang!

What clutch are you running?

Nothing special just a stock borg & beck that was gone thru by a local clutch shop, no powershifting or real abuse for that matter.
