Help TOB or bent FORK? ( WITH VIDEO)
Guys I'm out of answers, the clutch is less than a year old. Before replacing it the noise was the same so I thought Ok TOB is bad. Replaced it and noise came back. Went to rotary guy he said TOB is bad and it was worn out but not the clutch so he put in a new TOB. The noise is back.. he didn't see anything else wrong, does this sound like a bad release Fork that's binding the TOB??

Adjusting the clutch, and yes FSM = factory Service Manual. And FYI, the term "rotary specialist" generally is bullshit and either way it has nothing to do with installing clutches properly.
If the noise doesn't go away after being adjusted then it could have been an install error or a lack of lubrication in key areas. Was the pilot bearing replaced?

I mean it's following directions. Every car has it's own nuisances and specific procedures and a qualified technician has to be able to troubleshoot and work things out, not just replace parts without a proper diagnosis and call it a day and let the customer deal with it.
Did he show you the old clutch parts? Have any pics?

I would adjust the clutch pedal and go from there. A small amount of throwout bearing whine is normal but the chattering is not. Sounds like the throwout bearing could use to be adjusted closer to the pressure plate so that more pressure is applied.

The slave cylinder rod does not make contact with the throwout bearing. The slave cylinder rod applies pressure to the clutch fork directly. The throwout bearing resides on the clutch fork. An improperly adjusted clutch pedal would put extra stain on the throwout bearing, yes. But it would also put an extra strain on the clutch pressure plate and disc. It would act as though you were resting your foot on the clutch pedal, constantly applying pressure.

The slave cylinder rod is one length and cannot be adjusted. The clutch pedal decides the play in the takeup of the pedal and adjusts pressure on the clutch master cylinder, which in turn will adjust pressure on the slave cylinder through hydraulic pressure. You can check to see if the clutch fork is wallowed out where the salve cylinder rod meets it. That would be something to check.

Guys I think I've found the problem..
First I made sure my pedal adjustment was up to spec. I turned on the car, took a long ratchet extension bar and put it next to the slave rubber boot. I BARELY touched it and the whirling stopped right away. I literally just put the bar on top of the boot and it stopped... What do you think?

I would remove the slave cylinder from the bellhousing and inspect the rod for play. It could be that there is wear on the rod causing it to vibrate resulting in the noise or it could be that the fork has wear where the slave cylinder rod meets it, resulting in a vibration or noise.
