Throwout bearing: Is this normal? VIDEO, Help please!

[Florian]

I installed a new throwout bearing when I put my new engine in. I have driven it not more than 100 miles with this bearing.

I hab a squeaking noise with this bearing when you depressed the clutch pedal. No noise during driving.

Now the transmission is out and I noticed that you can move the bearing shell a bit around. It´s kinda hard to describe. I turns around nicely but you can move the actual bearing around a little.

I made a short video so that you know what I´m speaking of. I´ll see if I can upload it on youtube and post it here.

Here´s the video. It´s not completely uploaded yet. I hope it will work later.

Damn it´s not working, somehow youtube does´t accept the format I´m using anymore.

Maybe this photo will help:



You can move around the bearing in the direction of the arrows. Maybe 1/16th of an inch. It´s like the balls in the bearing were too small and therefore the shell of the bearing moves around a bit.

Could it be that the bearing has to little grease inside?

Finally got the video thing working, in bad quality though..

Now is this normal?

Thanks!
