Weird Noise I just had my LS7 Clutch installed a few months ago. Ive since put a few thound miles on it.
The noise sounds as if something is loose. You could only hear it when the clutch pedal is all the way to the floor. The noise is gone when in gear.
Could it be the Pilot bearing? If so, what could cause it to wear so prematurely?
Heres a pic of the old one when i had the clutch installed.
Thanks in advance.

What kind of noise do you have. Does it do it when you let out the clutch?. I have a Spec 4 clutch. My pilot bearing blew apart to. I installed a old style brass pilot bushing, when I put the new clutch in. I have heard of alot of factory pilot bearing coming apart. I now have a very load squeek when the car is hot and you let out the clutch. I have heard issues with the brass bushing spinning in the crank? Or maybe the input bearing is going bad from no support when the pilot bearing went. I need to take my trans back out and check it. Possible throw out bearing to I guess.

I uploaded a video so you can listen for yourself. FYI, pay close attention to 8 seconds and at 32 seconds into the video. Thats when you can hear the noise. Video I just realized the sound quality isnt all that great. Let me know if youd rather have the video emailed.
