I agree 100% with Excaliber. I removed the spring from the slave and added a return spring to keep the T/O bearing off the pressure plate.

In the "old school" days, if your T/O bearing constantly rode on the P/P fingers, you'd be replacing it in less than a 1000 miles. If you kept it off the P/P, they'd last 50,000 miles or more. I believe the same holds true today.
