Clutch TOB questions

[John A. Heer]

Thanks, Bruce.

Not the TOB, I guess.

However, if it were a loose or broken clutch or pressure plate parts,
wouldn't I notice much more than just a funky engagement point?  I mean,
I would think the drivability would be affected far more than it is.
The car is very drivable as it is.  It's just annoying to have the
mystery of the engagement point on every shift.

The throw-out bearing is a roller or tapered bearing set.  The inner
race contacts the clutch arms while the outer race is "fixed" to the
clutch release lever.  A bearing on its way out will rattle
with the clutch engaged (pedal up) or squeal when clutch is disengaged
(pedal down).

Your symptoms indicate something else, like maybe loose or broken clutch
or pressure plate parts.
