My first thought was that is was another bad throwout bearing. but it didnt make sense that it started back making the same noise not long after installing the new clutch. I tore up my transmission last summer and installed a new transmission, the new clutch including the pilot bushing. The only thing that remained the same was the bellhousing and clutch fork assembly.
I am not ruling out a bad bearing. How does a pilot bushing go bad? Worn out?
How far front to back should the pivot ball move? Could something in the clutch fork assembly be bad causing this? i dont want to take the transmision out unless i have too.
Thanks for the help guys.

I had a guy do a clutch for me a while back. 2 weeks later, all hell was breaking loose so I brought it back to him. He cracked the pilot bushing when he was installing it. So that is a possibility of what could go wrong.
