All,
The release (throw out) bearing on my truck is making noise at start up. Slight pressure on the pedal makes it stop and thus far no noise in gear. This is very reminiscent of an old Mustang GT I had which had a bad throw out bearing. I'm headed towards Colorado in August so I'm considering doing the clutch job before then. Three questions:
1) What's the forum consensus on clutch kit brand? I see ashcroft offers one although I'm sure I could also source from LRDirect.
2) Has anyone done this job in their garage? Any online guides you recomend? Lessons learned? I.e. pay someone to do it because it sucks
3) What "while you're there" jobs do you recommend? Is the rear main seal accessible once the transmission has been removed?
