What symptoms did you have that lead you to replace the throwout bearing and oil filler tube?

Now the car is using abnormal amount of oil but I can't find a leak and no drips of the floor, so I am thinking it could be a cam cover seal and it's burning off on the exhaust.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Love my car's performance and I do run it at the upper limits on occasion on the track (4 times - Birmingham/Raod Atlanta/Summit Point -2)), etc.....here is the "tail of the tape" some 70,000 miles later.....wonder if it is normal wear and tear?
Car regularly serviced as advised by manual at appropriate points of time, i.e. oil, plugs, filters, alignments, etc........
Any comments appreciated or similar experiences to share...........
The repairs - all under warranty......warranty now expired and I am a bit concerned...we will see...........car still looks new.....well cared for.....the list:
2 catalytic converters - switched to Chevron with techron @ repair @ 45K
1 throwout bearing @ 65,000
1 oil filler tube @ 43K
1 O2 sensor @ 45K
1 brake light switch @ 69K
1 water pump @ 48K
2 oil pressure sensors @ 45k and 69K
1 set of ignition wires @ 60k
1 ignition coil@ 60 K
1 headlamp bulb @ 35k
1 intermediate shaft seal
2 rear main seals
I threw in a new clutch when throwout bearing was replaced...all repairs done once and correctly at Jim Ellis in Atlanta...great service experienced.........
That seems like a lot? Seems like you've hit several common failure points.
Get ready for some cam cover seals, spark plug tubes, maybe an ignition switch while you're at it.
FWIW, when I was test driving six speeds, almost all over 50k had a possible bad throwout, i.e. real tight pedal.
Seems pretty normal to me.
62000 miles on mine.
1)RMS and IMS seals once.
2)Clutch at 52000 miles.
That's it except for usual brake pads, oil etc....
Pete (did I say I loved this car!!!!)
cool thanks.
I've had the oil pressure sensor go once when I first got it. Now though it has acted up twice this year by going dead for a few min.
I had my ignition coil packs replaced, the intermediate shaft seal and bolts done as well as 3 rear main seals and 3 sets of cats.
Now the car is using abnormal amount of oil but I can't find a leak and no drips of the floor, so I am thinking it could be a cam cover seal and it's burning off on the exhaust. Though I only noticed the change in oil consumption after getting the GIAC chip done.
