there are many reason for TOB noises that are just NOT the fault of the bearing.....some are cheap (parts store) TOB's, bad clutch, improperly installed clutch, mis-matched clutch parts, worn clutch linkage(ie: fork, pivot ball, cable, pedal cross-shaft bushings), firewall flexxing, bad or damaged bearing retainer, worn-out or bad inputshaft bearing, clutch housing mis-aligned and prob a few more.....

+1. That's why i go FORD OEM on alot of stuff. After years, I determined that the OEM was just better quality, on certain things, especially sensors like IAC, or IAT's or 02 sensors, etc.

If you drop the tranny to have it re-done, make sure to look at the input shaft to see if it's smooth or not, should be. also make sure to grease the crap out of the TOB and make sure the fork pivot points are greased. Do you have the stock clutch cable and quadrant?

Had the samething happen to a friend on his 93LX. dropped the tranny, sanded the input to make it smooth and we greased up the TOB really good and it fixed the problem and never squealed again in the 2 years he had it before he sold it. I always grease the TOB really good.

If he has a ajustable cable tightening it down to much will wear it out faster.

I wouldnt be suprised if it was the input shaft bearing that was bad the first time and not the TOB.
