[QUOTE="SPeace-ATL, post: 1576604, member: 36465"] I will add that if there is no preload on the TOB they tend to "bounce" off of and back onto the clutch fingers. This intermittent contact is what I attribute the squeaking to. If the squeak goes away with a light touch on the pedal it probably is bouncing around. I recommend tightening the cable just a bit. If it is smooth and quiet when engaging the clutch then the bearing condition itself would be fine. Now, some folks want an air gap on the TOB. That increases the chance of the squeak unless one can put a spring on the clutch fork to hold the TOB back away from the clutch fingers so the TOB won't touch unless the foot is on the clutch. Yes, heavy use can affect clutch finger height and cable stretching, so it all factors in... Stan [/QUOTE]
