Accept and savior reality. YOU DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. Noise decrease with new lube probably because it has higher viscoisty or thicker. Even though lubes say 90W there is a huge viscoisty range at 90W. This is so classic, try taking the gas tank down and see if the noise goes away. In the end you will end up creating a problem since you wont put something back together correctly.

OK so its not my throw out bearing, turned off car and put it all back together.

drained the tranny fluid, was bright red in color, and refilled with GM syncromesh.

took the car out for a nice drive, at first the noise seemed to be gone, but after getting some heat into it the noise was there....MIND YOU its not anywhere near as to what it was before, but there is still a noise just not as loud.

so my next questions,, is this noise normal for the TKO 600? could it be that the tranny still needs to "break in" there is only 850 miles on it.

or am i just a paranoid spaz and reading too much into it.....

a friend of mine said it could be the pilot bearing, cause when i told him the noise goes away when i push in the clutch, he then said ... pilot bearing.

any other things i could check?
