I took my 04 G35 to dreyer and reinbold in indianapolis and the service manager acted like he had no clue what was going on. The throwout bearing was giving me hell. It was pretty clear that it was the TOB because it only makes the noise when the clutch is engaged. I bought a TOB from them and put it in the next day. I used high temp grease on everything and everything looked fine and went together great. After about 600 miles of it driving just fine, it started making the same noise again. It does it really bad when starting it up for the first time but it goes away after it warms up. It will still occasionally do it when it's warmed up though. Only when I push and release the clutch pedal though. The TOB that I changed was definitely bad. Is there anything that can wear a TOB out that quickly? I just bought another one and I'm tearing it back apart tomorrow. Any input would be awesome. Thanks to all

 

The TOB in our car are garbage. You can replace them once a month and every single one of them will make the same noise and chatter.

 

It doesn't make sense because it drove for 100,000 miles without any problems and now I replaced it and the new one goes bad in 600 miles?

 

What type of sounds was it making? Im curious because I think mine is bad too but i can't find anyone with the same issue.

 

Did they warranty the first one you bought?
we have these in stock, $37 + Shipping if anyone needs a TOB

 

What clutch? Its highly unlikely that the TOB is actually the issue, its failure is probably due to another problem. Can you clearify the sound and when it occurs.
