Roller bearing or carbon.... don't "ride" the clutch. The only time that a clutch can become worn is when your foot is on the pedal.

3. Re: Roller throw out bearing (score: 1): Author: Tab Julius <tab@penworks.com>; Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 10:43:38 -0400 (EDT); Let me restate the question, as I think it's getting lost. I definitely don't ride the clutch. HOWEVER, the car has (ostensibly for emissions reasons) a "feature" to reduce idle speed while the clutc; /html/mgs/1999-10/msg00777.html (11,267 bytes)

There is no "feature" to reduce the idle while depressing the clutch, not for emissions, not for any other reason. The reduced engine speed is due; /html/mgs/1999-10/msg00780.html (8,839 bytes)

11. RE: Roller throw out bearing (score: 1): Author: Tab Julius <tab@penworks.com>; Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 13:17:46 -0400 (EDT); Thanks - that helps. Maybe the idle was set with the clutch disengaged - that would explain a lot if it was just done with the car in neutral, then we'd probably see this effect. - Tab; /html/mgs/1999-10/msg00795.html (15,369 bytes)

Most people seem never to have heard of it, so methinks it's something my seller had explained (improperly) to him, and it just passed itself on.
