I am normally a lurker and can find the information I need by searching on this site. (Thanks, by the way.) Here is one that I haven't found much information on though.
I just replaced the clutch, throwout bearing and pressure plate on my 1Z 96 Passat. I also changed the trans oil and axle seals while I was in there.
I now have a noise from the front of the transmission that sounds like my new throwout bearing is suspect. The hours of labor are too fresh in my mind to want to tear it apart again for just the bearing.
The noise goes away when the clutch is pressed to the floor and everything is working smooth now. But, what are some scenarios of what will happen if the bearing fails?
