Ok, last year i posted here to have some feedback/comments! but no one
answered, i'm trying again!

That bearing on ALL car is NOT suppose to touch the clutch  basket wile
driving (this bearing is NOT suppose to spin all the time but only when you
press the clutch), but on most, not to say all Vanagon (and i have seen some
staying UP), even when the clutch pedal is release the slave cylinder still
push on the lever/throw out bearing.

That said, the clutch is hydrolic, so when you press the pedal in front, the
master clutch cylinder is activated and push oil in a tube that goes in the
back to the slave cylinder who react to the oil pressure and does it job, so
the problem is that the slave doesn't stay up when the pedal is release in
front. Now i'm talking with a NEW master and slave well bleed.

Any advice or experience on that matter? I can tell you horror story about
that bearing breaking appart.
