I changed my clutch with a exedy oem replacement clutch (boxed exedy product) at about 55k miles. I wonder if it uses the same parts or not as the defective bearing. Fingers crossed I'm good, been using it about 30k miles now and no goose honks.
I do get a squeak when depressing it. I figured it might be the slave cylinder noise, might need to re-check, or maybe I need to re-lube the input shaft.
