release bearing

Ok 4 months ago I noticed a noise coming from my release bearing so I changed it but it when bad again I’m on my third one now and it just went bad again. I’m lost any advice I’ve checked the fork and it was ok. Also I have a brand new act ZM8-HDMM clutch kit. it has 31000 miles and it’s a 2004, thanks.

Cold weather has prompted my throw out bearing to begin squeaking.

Clutch engagement still seems normal.

Is the noise normal for the RX-8?

Sounds like the OP replaced the bearing but still has the noise.
