Throw Out Bearing Question??

[StinkinLincoln]

Would a bad throw out bearing cause miss shifts?? My throw out bearing is making a lot of noise and is causing tranny vibrations when I rev up the engine....plus the car will try to move foward when reving while the clutch is pressed in (Very Slightly).....

I went to the track last SAT and couldent get the trans to fast shift for shit, I't kept missing 2nd or 3rd gear every pass!! Could this be my Throw Out Bearing???

How hard is it to replace???

How is your clutch master cylinder?

[StinkinLincoln]

good its pretty new and so is the slave...

[StinkinLincoln]

When I shift I have to hold down the clutch for a sec or 2 to get it to switch gears W/O grinding or missing the gear...WTF!!

I'm pretty sure its the Cluch Release Bearing....It's only $30 bucks at Autozone.

I'm going to try it before I go and spend the $300 bucks on a H23 trans Swap....

A part that critical I wouldn't cheap out on. Someone else will chime and say basically the same thing on how it failed on them prematurely.

Where should I buy my Throw Out Bearing From Then???

I got a Stage 3 Clutch and a 8lb Aluminum Flywheel in Perfict Condition allready installed.. All I need to change is the Throw Out!!

I'd say get one from the Honda dealership. I know I wouldn't want to pull the tranny again to save a few bucks now.

DO NOT cheap out on the throwout bearing. I did... and it caused my clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, and pilot bearing to fail. When you try to shift, does it sound like little chirping birds when you feel resistance? Mine did that... I ignored it. Drove around for quite a while... Then one day the clutch wouldn't release. I had to heel-toe to keep the engine going when shifting into 1st... and I shifted into the other gears without using the clutch. I drove 2 hours home like that.

I was waiting on Deev to pop in to retell his T/O bearing story and here we have it right on time too.

I feel your pain deev. Here is what happened to mine with a NON OEM Throwout Bearing

4 springs. I did not have to pry them out. They literally fell out.



Clutch plate.



See what it did to my flywheel bolts (springs started to round them off)




Go OEM.
