Is your car still under the powertrain warranty? At 40k, is should be, but since it's a 98, I'm not entirely too sure. You should check incase is it is a tranny prob.

The powertrain warranty is for 5 yrs/60K miles, whichever comes first.
Check your clutch fluid and make sure you have enough. However, make sure you have someone check your tranny before it gets any worse.

If it is the throw-out bearing, it will require removal of the transmission. Because of that, it can be expensive. Do you have any friends with power or air tools? If so, you may want to consider doing it. Labor for the throw-out bearing will be around $300-$500 if you go to a shop....

All this trouble for a $27 part. What a wonderful world.







I hope you people have hookups...
