Purchase and install new, throw-out bearing, collar, pilot busing, act clutch kit and fandaza flywheel. When attempting to step on the clutch pedal their is a huge chatter, grinding noise coming out of the transmission. It gets louder and louder if I step on it more. When it isn't being step on their is no noise coming from the transmission. Do any of the you guys might know whats the reason why it's doing that? Would be very much appreciate to any advice.

Johnny butt,

If you say I install the throw out bearing backwards, can you please confirm if I had install it right, by looking at the picture below. This is when I was ready to mount the transmission onto the motor.

Damn that sucks, I'll hate to pull out the swap again, just to changed that bearing, or drop 200-300 just to let the shop pull out the transmission with their hydrallic lifter.

You will be lucky if you didn't damage the pressure plate to go along with it.
