A friend tried a Moss roller throw-out bearing in his TD and it started to
howl in a very short time. Replaced it with a carbon thrust and no further
problems. Nothing wrong with the carbon thrust bearing. I am re-restoring my
TC and after 40,000 miles there was no wear on the carbon throw-out bearing.
Just make sure the clutch return spring is doing its job so the throw-out
bearing is not in contact with the clutch during normal driving.

FWIW. Although my inbuilt conventional wisdom tends to feel that a roller
release bearing would be better than the carbon one (less friction and does
not break up) experience on other sites (esp the V8 site which I frequent)
says otherwise. Apparently the roller bearing wears badly and thus becomes
noisy, whereas the carbon bearing has to break up completely before it does
this.
