hmmm......strange.

If it is a bad TOB, it could be that the bearings (in the race) are warn (loose) just enough that they make that noise when they are spinning really fast (5,000 rpms) and when you load the TOB bearing, the bearings tighten up enough in the race that they don't make that sound - how's THAT for a theory -

Theory #2. Something in the clutch system (like the clutch fork) gets to vibrating at the high rpms and when you touch the clutch pedal the force from the piston in the slave cylinder stops it from vibrating -

I'll ring up ol @Ultramaroon for ya, he knows a lot about stuff like that. He'll get a kick out of my theories -
