uncle.penny Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 So I cheaped out on parts for a clutch job and went with a "Brute Power" clutch kit and flywheel. The entire reason I did the clutch in the first place is because the original throwout bearing was squealing. So I did the job by the book, everything torqued to proper specs and in proper order, made sure everything was clean, greased what needed greasing, didn't grease what didn't. And a WEEK after putting it all back together and getting it running, that fothermucking release bearing is squeaking again. Now I'm not saying it's completely impossible that I made a mistake somewhere, but I have a few years experience in the trade (a couple as a tech and a couple as a parts tech) and I followed the FSM down to the letter so to me this seems like a case of cheap crappy Chinese parts being cheap and crappy. I'm just going to have to live with it because there's no way I'm doing a clutch on this old rusty biotch on my garage floor again any time soon. Don't cheap out on important parts kids!!

RF600 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I don't blame you. Buy quality when you only want to do the job one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
