Hi, since I owned my 93 Legacy there has been on and off squeeking from the bell housing area. It seemed to come and go in response to clutch depression/release.

 

THEN, the flywheel broke a few weeks ago, the ring gear came loose from the flywheel! I've taken the tranny out to replace it now thanks to you guys and I assumed that the clutch throw bearing was the culpret for squeeking but I've now noticed a little bearing in the flywheel and wonder if this could be responsible, neither squeek when turned by hand and I'm worried about putting it all back together to still have a squeek.

 

any opinions on what is more probably the cause of the squeeking and whether the flywheel bearing is available to replace?

 

thanks for your advice again.

Thats your pilot bearing. REPLACE IT with any clutch job. That little guy takes a big beating.

 

Id also recommend tossing out the rubber cover that the flywheel access hole is plugged with. That will occasionally shrink a little, fall into the bellhousing, and reak havoc.

As long as you are putting in a new flywheel, get a clutch kit and replace the whole thing.

A clutch kit will come with the throw out berring, the pilot berring (that is the one in the flywheel), a new pressure plate, clutch disk, and an alignment tool so it will line up correctly when you put it back together. If the flywheel has had problems, it is really a good idea to replace the clutch parts at the same time, as they were likely damaged when the flywheel broke. . .

Got a clutch kit but it only came with the three parts -throw out bearing, clutch plate and housing. No aligment tool and no pilot bearing! Can you give me a web site that sell these seperately?

 

thanks
