Can't figure this clutch/throughout bearing problem out! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have a redtop sr in a 95 chassis and I have a weird problem. When I am backin out of a parking spot and I let the clutch out about half way, then have to press it back in, it starts to grind as if the car is like halfway out of gear. Its hard to explain but another example is if I am in traffic and I have to creep up some but not enough to let the clutch out all the way, then when I press it back in the car will do this noise. I have replaced the entire gear section of the tranny, the clutch slave, and inspected the throughout bearing and sleeve and they look fine, no imperfections. So I just got my tranny in and I've driven it for a few days and it has been fine, then today, it just did it again after all the damn work I did to swap out the entire tranny. If anyone can give me advice on where to start, it would be great. Also, it only seems to do it after the car is warmed up so I got the idea about something with the throughout bearing might be binding when it gets warm and expands. Your ideas are appreciated and sorry this is so long.
