Thunderball I hope you have the line(SS) clamped down in the bell housing. It's real easy for the clutch assembly to pull TOB line that are not hard tube into the plate and rub holes through them. Have seen this many times.


Hitch You need to check a couple of things, first the clearance length between the surface of the TOB to the fingers on the pressure plate, You make be over extending the TOB and causing not enough return with no pressure in the line. You have pressure and Vacuum working with these bearings to pull the TOB off the fingers. The other thing is a clutch pedal stop. This will stop over extending the bearing. We have GM car with over 100k miles and no leaks or failures of TOB bearing. Last thing is to bleed them once a year and have new fluid in them and flush out old fluid. Alot of aftermarket TOB need spacers to get the correct length to have complete engagement and release. Rick L.
