So you were blaming them for a throw out bearing problem that didn't exist while your 20k rear end was eating itself.

Good call there. Coincidence? I think not!

No -- I still think the bearing set up was improper despite them stating to the contrary.... but it's a he said she said....

Squealing -- squealing goes away when you depress the clutch... noise got worse with milage -- so quiet when first fired up and then after a few miles (4 or 5?) it got louder.

It could have been bad bearings in the carriers... which overheated the stub axles -- but since I'm not working on it - I have no clue. In the meantime they're going over everything it "could be". And in keeping with their past "defense" --- it's all "bad" or "defective" or "crappy" parts nothing they did...

At this point I don't really care -- I just want the little POS done and home.

Good to hear they're getting the car ironed out for you Greg.

I bet your wife's R8 is a hoot to drive!

If you had just gone to Brizios in the first place I probably wouldn't have had to spend a half hour getting caught up on this thread. What type of clutch do you have ? Could it be what 's making the noise ?

Charley -- Trust me... NOBODY is sorrier about that than me!

I don't know what brand/type clutch but I think it's a RAM? I will find out.

Wow it only took you 30 minutes to get caught up. I really need to take a speed reading class.
