I've replaced the clutch on my 2nd gen 4runner, when replacing this i did the rear main engine seal and replaced the thrust bearing too.
After putting it all back together there's a slight squeal when the clutch is engaged (either in neutral at standstill or gear whilst driving). As soon as a little pressure is applied this goes away. Similarly if i manually push the outside end of the fork toward the engine the squeal disappears.
I've diagnosed that essentially the thrust bearing is just touching the diaphragm spring of the clutch assembly, not enough to make the bearing turn properly but still enough to rub, hence the squeal.
My question is, should the thrust bearing be in constant contact with the diaphragm spring (and should i therefore adjust the pedal assy adjustment) or should the bearing be clear until the pedal is depressed?
If the later, how do i go about ensuring this? As far as i can tell there's no spring to keep the fork/bearing away from the diaphragm spring.
Cheers, Ben
