Default Not your ordinary bleed question. Oh the noise!

Good afternoon all. Let me give you the run down on my setup:
99 with 02 slave, Mccleod adjustable master, 422 4340 Mccleod clutch setup (I think that is the combo).
Car started out yesterday making a little noise at all times. Noise would change when clutch was pushed in. Today, car makes horrible noise. changes when pedal is pushed in. Shifts fine. Seems to either not be releasing all the way or almost like a bad bearing. Bled today, fluid black. Still shifts fine, no bubbles. Pedal has horrible vibration, almost like a cable clutch. Pedal feel is fine though (other than the vibs.) Please help!

Slave is probably fine. Just do the throwout. You'll be able to tell when you get it apart.

I also believe the noise is from the throw out bearing but black hydraulic oil is not healthy( not related) . You should look ouer the entire system.

Yeouch!! I can't get over how thin the metal is on these things. I mean, it looks paper thin in certain spots.

Please correct me if I am wrong. I am ordering parts right now for the tranny, if I order just the slave, does it come with the release bearing installed? Or do I need to order that seperately???

The slave and bearing are two seperate pieces, but I think you get a new bearing when you order a slave. It's been a long time I don't remember! All I know is somehow I ended up with an extra bearing cuz I didn't think the slave came with one!
