Re: Noises coming from throwout bearing..
Yes - I think kwmech is correct - the pilot bushing should press into the flywheel. Once had an odd situation where a PO had installed an auto trans flywheel on a three speed manual Dodge of some sort. When I re-did the clutch, the bushing supplied for the 4sp trans would not go into the flywheel. Bought a bushing for an auto trans and it pressed in correctly - fortunately the bushing ID was the same for both trans shafts.
These things do get mixed up, even by the manufacturer. If the pilot bushing is at all sloppy in the flywheel, could be the problem.
