Are you using Monster's metal billet bearing support by chance?

To install it you have to take a retainer off of the slave to get it apart. I put one on mine and found it had came back apart.. Was thinking the same might have happened to you

Here's what one disassembled looks like

I don't have the support but it set came apart. Would this make a bunch of noise from bell housing when driving?

Well I would highly recommend the billetbearing support. I had TWO slave units fail due to the stock plastic bearing support basically melting and then the slave would fail. I use my car for a daily driver with basically 1000+ power level and in stop and go traffic. AWESOME mod as far as I am concerned.

I suspect so. I posted some pictures in my thread of a slave taken apart, etc.

I believe the noises on mine was because the tip of the input shaft (where it mates with the pilot bearing) was worn about 0.020". So.. it can just rattle around inside the bearing. I also found that if the input shaft can move enough, it can hit the retainer that holds the cover, retainer and spring together. In normal operation I don't think this will hurt much.. as those parts can't go anywhere anyways. I do suspect you'd get some additional noise if this happened, though.

I'd check and make sure the pilot bearing has a good fit to the input shaft. If the input shaft is worn at all, that is bad.

Thanks for info. Pulled clutch and it is full of hot spots on flywheel and every disc and floater. Weird thing that is only on one side.
