Pilot bushing bad - should I replace the clutch disc? Just like the title says, my car is squealing with clutch pushed in - more often in gear, but sometimes just in neutral. Fits the pilot bushing/bearing symptoms perfectly.
While i'm down there, i'll do the drill mod and also check my clutch disc for material. Is there a threshold amount of clutch material that should be left to not replace the disc? Or any other criteria?
My car is running a stock entire drivetrain, with SLP intake & full exhaust plus tune. I am looking to not spend any money on the drivetrain til I graduate college and will be installing turbos and stuff. The clutch has lasted 105k miles, assuming my clutch was not replaced within the first 60k, when I bought it.
EDIT: I'm also wondering where to purchase a replacement clutch disc from - right now, O'reilly is calling to get a pricing on some special order clutch something, he was pretty vague on if its the disc alone or entire clutch kit. Any sponsors in the area of DFW, Texas able to get their hands on one either?
