OK, first off, when I depress my clutch pedal it makes a buzzing/whirring noise, and the pitch of this noise decreases linearly as the engine RPM's decrease, and the noise ceases when I release the clutch pedal. I took it to Auto Zone and the guy said it was either my "throwout bearing" or my "pilot bearing". Would this be accurate?
Also he said that since it had the original clutch after 100,000 miles (and the previous owner shifted and clutched pretty violently I think), it was about time to get that replaced too, and I could save a bit on labor if I got them done at the same time.
I've had my eye on the Spec clutches for awhile... I was thinking of a Spec Stage III.. would this be sufficient for a car with a tuner chip? Or is that just total overkill and a waste of money?
What's the advantage of having a Stage II as opposed to a Stage III?
