Thinking about it - the Tilton MC has a return spring in it and the BMW slave cylinder has a return spring in it. That's a lot of residual pressure working to hold the TO bearing against the clutch fingers. I guess I could try to add a spring to work on retracting the master cylinder piston in addition to the one working on the piston in the fork/slave cylinder. It's all connected by fluid pressure.

Or is everyone running with positive contact between the TO bearing and the clutch fingers and getting away with it? Hasn't seemed to hurt my TO bearing so far as it's been silent.
