bearing should not touch the fingers,other wise it runs constantly with the motor.-fail

I had this problem a couple months ago after replacing the clutch with a new HD Valeo one, which shuddered and touched the bearing from the start(sounded like a cricket!), does your clutch shudder? I tried replacing the throw-out/thrust bearing twice before giving up on the Valeo clutch an replaced it with an Exedy and machined the flywheel again! All good now.

What was the state of the first bearing ?? Feel rough when rotated, etc ??
What did the throw out fork bearing retainer area look like ??? Was it in good repair - no broken tabs ??
Was the bearing clipped in and fitted properly ??
Does the throw out fork flop around excessively when everything is together ??

You need to look at BenJ's build thread at the pics posted pertaining this.

By virtue of the return spring that hooks up to the clutch pedal from the floor, this keeps slight tension on the clutch cable so the TO bearing does contact the pressure plate lightly.
Normally, this won't cause any harm. The bearing shouldn't be tight against the PP.

This worries me . . .
Tell us how you've setup the clutch pedal adjustment.
Incorrect clutch pedal adjustment is a major cause of bearing problems, pressure plate problems, etc.

1- the first one seemed reasonable, nothing obvious except it didn't have the little cam to stop it turning in the fork, which I thought might've been the problem, fork was in good repair as well

2It was removed and fitted by my mechanic mate on a hoist and he said it all looked good. I shall go through benj's thread as well.

3 I wanted to know how to tell if it was constantly touching, it was also adjusted by my mate.

Does the noise go away if you put slight pressure on the clutch pedal ??

Should be in the last few pages of his thread - other thing is you're going off someone else's word - were you there when it was done ??

The thing I was leading to is if you did it yourself, asking that kind of question worries me.
What you can do is pull the cable near the firewall in the engine bay - should be able to pull it away probably 5-10mm or so - if it's so tight that you can't, then there's a chance it's not adjusted correctly.

Yeah mate, bit different to days gone by putting the feeler gauge between the TO bearing and PP fingers.

Some gearbox IP shaft rumble/noise is normal - mine makes some noise, which disappears with pedal down.
Unless it's squealing, nothing really to be bothered by.

Must be something in how it's setup then - something might be rubbing, etc.
Can't really see you having successive faulty TO bearings.
