Well i stopped into a SVT dealer in London, Ont. As said before the clutch will not be fixed with 92000km showing. It's pointed out to me that a TSB is not a recall.
I was told that there really isn't a throw out bearing in the SVT set up. It's called a cylinder assembly. The noise is movment within the assembly which causes the damage. I explained my clutch is not slipping and seems strong. I was told the clutch will not give any warning that it is about to go and you will just go to shift and it will not work. The price break down is as follows: plate asy-158.86, disk asy-157.46, core price-15.00, cylinder asy- 251.00. Plus nine hours of labour- 729.95.
It was pointed out to me that i may not need all these parts untill the car is pulled apart and can be inspected. Also as far as the bell housing being damaged the service manager said he has not seen this yet. With this fix one is garrenteed for one year or 20000km and these are up dated parts to fix the problem.
What to do now??
