[QUOTE="Terrorist 5.0, post: 1576491, member: 30689"] Hi everyone. Not sure if this belongs here but then again, maybe it is a dumb question haha I’ve replaced my throw out bearing about a year and a half ago, and all is decent. Last night, I pushed the car (95 GT) pretty hard. I’m talking 120 MPH on the highway for extended periods of time. I also stumbled upon a “slide pit” (I believe that is what they are called, hundreds of people gather while others do donuts in the middle), and slid the car for a while as well. Legality and safety aside (I try to hoon responsibly), I noticed the throw out bearing starting to squeak. Went away as soon as I touched the clutch pedal. The biting point remained about the same, so I don’t think the cable stretched. I suppose the bearing could have gotten hot from being at high RPM (3000-4500) for extended periods of time, but the noise goes away the next day usually. I haven’t tried the next day to see if it went away yet. My question is, is it normal for the bearing to start making a little noise if the car is being raced for an extended period of time (minutes at a time)? [/QUOTE]
