Check the "ears" on the throwout bearing
casting. I've
seen some newer ones that are less than linear. (ie, if
they
are the hands of a clock, they should be at 9:15,
not 8:20.) I'm getting
increasingly squealy and dragging
action with my clutch and I'm suspecting
that I may find
myself in the same boat as you. I'm hoping I can make it
through the summer because I need to get the house painted
this year so there
is no money for major car repairs. :-(
