Re: possible clutch problem?

I've had bad TO bearings on my old '73 way back when that made whirring and clunky noises. What no one has mentioned is the pilot bearing. On my '98 Firebird w/hyd clutch linkage the trans and TO bearing were good at 125K but the (roller) pilot bearing disintegrated and made shifting difficult. I think a teardown is probably in your future. Those are relatively inexpensive parts to replace with expensive labor unless you can do it yourself.
