well i can't tell by the pics, but you've got it backwards. The only time the throw-out bearing is in play in a properly adjusted setup is when the clutch pedal is DEPRESSED. If you are getting noise when the pedal is out and not in, odds are you should be looking at the pilot bearing, not the throwout bearing, now that you have it all apart you might as well replace them both.



Good luck

jus to reasure... the tick that i was hearing. would it be the pilot bearing/inputshaft bearing/throwout bearing one of them.. the tick is only heard when the cltuch pedal is not pressed. when it is pressed the tick slowly fades away...i go in and out of easily.. no lock up or nothing.. jus that tick.. and when i move like 10ft per say. the tick will occur..witht he occasional TINK!!!! [Loud]...i havent got nething else done since friday cause its been rainin..if u request any pics to help me out. ill eb glad to take them... thanks guys

Even though the pics are fuzzy it looks like the input shaft has been chewed to ****, did the pilot bearing come out attached to the shaft?

zhero

zhero

to fix the reply.. NO grooves or scars in the teeth of the inputshaft..
