If you installed a new throw-out bearing check to see if it has the word Aetna stamped on the side. This is a notoriously poor quality reproduction that flooded the hobby a few years back. They will fail coming out of the box. If it is, I would replace it. Bratton's carry a good quality Federal Mogul brand bearing, even though made in Mexico.
