Well, my throw out bearing has been going for a while now. Ever since I bought the car (1.5 yrs ago), there was a ticking noise when you put the car in neutral and let out the clutch. Then, last fall, it would occasionally howl a little in the friction zone when I would start moving from a stop. It is getting more and more consistent.
I called a couple of local transmission shops around here and was quoted ~10 hrs of labor, so total with parts/labor ~$900-1000. Ouch.
Has anyone out there done this themselves? How much of a PITA is it? Anyone looking to make a couple hundred bucks helping me do this myself?
I'm looking for suggestions, I don't enjoy the thought of sinking $1K into a new clutch and then shelling out more to get my dash-warp fixed. Help?

Trent if you want to drop it off in GR for a week or so I can do the clutch for you. I even have a new throw out bearing on the shelf. Order a spec 1 from here. For a few hundred I'll come to you for a weekend too if you have a cherry picker. I could probably tear mine down and bring it though.

That would be perfect! Give me a shout at 517.775.3354 and we'll get it worked out. Thanks, man. Are you going to the meet this Sat.? I'm thinking about it, if we're both there, the beer is on me.
