I just replaced my flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, pilot bearing, and slave/throwout bearing. What a job! The clutch works fine but I have a little problem. I got a brief thump thump thump noise while in 2nd gear rolling along down driveway going for test drive. And now I get a clickty noise occasionally. The truck launches smooth and shifts smooth. No noises pedal in revving motor. Transfercase in Neutral I can go thru gears smooth tranny spins down and goes in reverse good. Can drive highway speed and runs normal but occasionally clickity sound.
I used a LUK clutch/pp and flywheel from dial-a-clutch.
However, I used a slave and throwout bearing from Advanced Auto. The back looked just like the OE unit but the throwout bearing looked a little different. A little more mushroomed shape. It looked like a good unit Raybestos packaging by Allparts Tru-torque (R) #SC360058
Bendix#13207, Wagner #F134322.
It looked like the right part at least the face of the bearing had very very similar ID/OD but maybe the mushroom shape interferes with the pp.
I am 99% sure the Advanced Auto bearing is sticking to the pressure plate diaghram "fins"/"fingers" and spun the front of the slave throwout assembly spring etc. I think this causes the clickety noise as without pedal force to stop the bearing it is skidding and sticking on the PP and not being a bearing.
Anyone experience this? I half think this will settle down and be fine as the bearing spins out excess grease and gets more free. I don't want to tear it down if I don't have too. But I probably will its bothering me.
Anything else it could be? Dang! Advanced Auto I should have known better!!!
