No Good Reason
I didn't really have a good reason for going with Centerforce. I bought the aluminum flywheel, PP, TOB, and disk for a TKO all in "one fell swoop." The aluminum flywheel is mucho overpriced, and the little weights (gone) I think are just a gimmick. But other than that, it's a damn good setup and works very well.

update....
ok i first removed the hyd slave and pulled the fork all the way back, started car and looked in the opening and the throw out bearing was not spinning and yet noise was still there, pressed on the fork to engage the thro out bearing and no increase in noise, pulled the fork back and watched the throw out bearing slow to a stop. OK so its not my throw out bearing, turned off car and put it all back together.
drained the tranny fluid, was bright red in color, and refilled with GM syncromesh.
took the car out for a nice drive, at first the noise seemed to be gone, but after getting some heat into it the noise was there....MIND YOU its not anywhere near as to what it was before, but there is still a noise just not as loud.
so my next questions,, is this noise normal for the TKO 600? could it be that the tranny still needs to "break in" there is only 850 miles on it.
or am i just a paranoid spaz and reading too much into it..... 
a friend of mine said it could be the pilot bearing, cause when i told him the noise goes away when i push in the clutch, he then said ... pilot bearing.
any other things i could check?

Can you make an audio file of the sound? If you can put your Blackberry up there and record the sound, then email me the audio file, I'll make it available for everyone to hear. |

Do you have any car buddies that can come over and listen?

Brent, I want you to diagnose a sound that you're not alowed to hear... then from there we'll move on to see if you can appreciate the shades of a pastel that you're not allowed to see... then we'll top it off with your final treat -- a crème brûlée. Of course you won't be allowed to taste it, but you'll be expected to act as a food critic and assess its flavor nonetheless.  |

Of course I was asking Maxum if he had any car savvy buddies that could go over to his house and listen to this noise. It would be much easier than us trying to diagnose it from here.....

But that won't help you. And if he knew anybody that was really savvy he wouldn't be coming to us.... |

Accept and savior reality. YOU DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. Noise decrease with new lube probably because it has higher viscoisty or thicker. Even though lubes say 90W there is a huge viscoisty range at 90W. This is so classic, try taking the gas tank down and see if the noise goes away. In the end you will end up creating a problem since you wont put something back together correctly.
