Hello, I had a throwout bearing explode and sieze. When it died it decided
to put a small amount of pressure on the pressure plate at all times,
causing a squeak as the fingers of the pressure plate rubbed over the
siezed throwout bearing. Bentley says "scores up to 0.3 mm are acceptable.
I have flats (shiny area where pressure plate fingers contact throwout
bearing) about 1.25 mm wide worn on the fingers of the pressure plate - had
to drive home with this squeak (about 200 miles). Anybody know if the
pressure plate is still good?
