While performing my favorite pastime of sleeping under my teener, I looked deeper into my clutch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Is the throwout bearing always in contact with the preassure plate?? It appears it must be given there is always a certain amount of cable tension.

Just a thought... and does it put undue wear on the throwout bearing?

The "helper" spring in the pedal cluster keeps a little bit of tension on the cable, so the throwout bearing does always contact the fingers of the clutch diaphragm spring. Far as I can tell, that's to make sure the cable does not develop enough slack to jump off of the roller back on the transmission.

The "free play" in the clutch pedal is generally measured by pulling up on the pedal.
