That is interesting. When I had my clutch rebuilt 7 years ago, the
mechanic had trouble finding OE throw-out bearings and had to use a
"lesser" bearing (I think he said Borg & Beck - I didnt know ANYTHING
about Triumphs back then!). From day 1, it has made a noise when
I depress the clutch which sound to me like the clutchplates rattling.
It has made that sound for 7 years and 20K miles and with seemingly
no other problems.
Should I be worried? *gulp*
