T50 release bearing noisy!!

[bradae85]

Hi have replaced my release bearing in my Hachi as over time it got noisier then started grinding.
Pulled it out last week and replaced it, the bearing I pulled out was really stuffed with movement in the bearing and when shaken it rattled.
The new bearing was quiet for a day now when the clutch is engaged it has a slight grinding noise , but comes and goes whilest the pedal is pushed.
I'm not happy as I don't want to pull the box out again!!!
Can anyone shed some light on what could be the culprit?

Spigot bearing also possibly worn out? When does it make the noise?

[bradae85]

Replaced spigot bearing around 4months or 3000kms ago

It only makes the noise when clutch pedal is pushed. In gear or in neutral.

They are always a little noisy. Just turn the music up.

Could be either spigot, release or gearbox input shaft bearings.

This happens alot when folks go for stiff clutches, its a fact that cant be corrected, stiff clutch = more forces for the release bearing = wears out quicker or you just live with it.
