Check that bolts on throwout bearing tube are torqued correctly and
that the threads are ok.

When I rebuilt the clutch housing, and did clutch, I noticed one of
mine was stripped. I tapped it. I used Locktite blue medium strength.
So far so good!

PO's reciepts show 2 complete clutch jobs within a short period of
time. There was also mention of the TO tube in one work order.

Lube the TO bearing tube.

Neil.
