When they did the clutch was it a throw n go or did someone inspect/resuface or replace the flywheel

Hows the throwout bearing?

the surface on the flyweel looks good like its been resurfaced.the throw out bearing looks great.Everything still looks pretty new like it should.i am puzzled.

When you depress the pedal the fork moves the throwout bearing into the pressure plate. This throwout bearing is what's making your noise... replace it.

Update...the clutch pilot bushing was the problem.Turns out there can either be a bushing or a needle bearing probably depending on which clutch kit you get.Autozone does not list the bushing for 87 and they only list a needle bearing that is not the right size at all.I had to go to Napa and get the needle bearing.Thanks for the suggestions.
