I read folks in the Subaru WRX forum complaining about whining noise within 700 miles. Id think that would be too short of a time to cause issues unless the grease itself is solidified and leaving some balls exposed to contact. I was talking to a buddy of mine who has lots of experience with bearings and he said it could be due to clearances of the bearing when cold and as it warms up there is less clearance between the races and balls causing the noise to go away. |

I would like to hear from people who live in the warmer regions about any TOB issues they had. Is this a problem only for those in the snowbelt?

Even a light off center pressure combined with improper lubrication can cause things to heat up beyond normal ranges. This of course would be at it's worst when the bearing is cold. Many of the failures we have seen here resulted in a completely melted bearing. Of course this means extensive heat was created and I don't see how lube alone could account for that.

When I was digging into this I was actually surprised at how flimsy looking these forks appear. Now, I have never held one in my hands so maybe the appearance is deceiving but I know just how many issues we have had with off spec stamped parts over the years so don't put much trust in them.

There is already a really good clutch replacement DIY with a ton of pictures, I honestly don't think I could add much other than 'inspect and lube' and 'here's what I found' (as a side note, his pics are really good, we should be using those to discuss this from our armchairs). http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25054 Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant that the 'squeaking/honking/creaking' from the clutch pedal which is likely stemming from a lack of lubrication on one of the three contact points on the clutch fork is 'solved' with more lube. The throw-out-bearing failure issue requires replacing parts (as you can't correct a bearing that's already noisy), maybe even modifying something in there, we don't know yet. Links for what I meant: http://my.is/forums/f221/fix-creakin...t-ball-541281/ http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56882 One of the most valuable lessons learned in college: More lube. My taxpayer dollars hard at work right there for the next generation to learn as well. |
