clutch release bearings started making a noise, will my clutch last long?

[Khare]

Also, do I need to buy the green cap? If so, where from and how much?

I buy mine from gsf..if your careful you maybe able to reuse but I'm guessing yours has being fitted since new and wont want to come out easily.....they prise off using a flat driver so it's possible to go slowly and reuse

This the procedure I have to do?

My mk2 had a dodgy release bearing when i first got it, changed the oil and the sound pretty much went away. Never caused me a problem and i drove that car for 8k ish miles.

I did an oil change on it about 2 months ago so doubt it's that.

yep thats it, the TO bearing is what americans call them+ it sits in the hole behind the finger
like he says you can go through the green cap but have to move the finger out the way or just take the 5th gear housing off the end to get to the bearing

[Khare]

so I need to take the finger out yeah?

[axewielder]

either take the green cap off+ release the clip off the clutch arm+ rotate finger outta the way or take the 5th gear housing off, depends wether you want to check the finger? the bearing sits in that hole under the finger, its all explained on broke
