Load the bearing was in reference to the Gunst set up. If you can hear the
bearing spinning against the clutch fingers, then the clearance wasn't set
correctly. You see into the bell housing and check the clearance with a
flashlight. It's possible to adjust the bearing without removing the
tranny, but you have to disconnect the hydraulic lines and push them into
the bell housing to allow the bearing to screw down away from the clutch
fingers. 1/8" is what Herman recommends, I believe.

Subject: Throw out bearing noise
One of the guys in our club recently installed one of Herman Van D----'s 5
speed conversion setups which has the hydraulic clutch setup that he uses.
The TOB makes a noise until it warms up. I've seen a lot of discussion
regarding the 5 speed conversion on this site and recall a discussion of
this specific problem (something about loading or not loading the TOB) but
didn't pay the proper attention to it since I have a perfectly functioning
(knock on wood) A type OD.
Could someone cut and paste a copy to me of their previous response(s) on
this issue?
TIA.
