Default I have no idea. Tech thinks the Throw out bearing is bad. Never had a clutch last less than 75k
If I had launched it hard, or if I ride the clutch, the TO Bearing is not what goes bad, so I think it is just a mechanical flaw. But the manual says top replace the whole assembly once you have the tranny out

Default They are giving me the car back, and ordering the parts
The car drives fine, the pedal just rumbles when I let out the clutch. Going back in in 10 days. 12 hour worth of labor to change the clutch.

Default I know! I am thinking about that - but If this clutch goes another 45 - I will get rid of the car by
then. Plus - probably no chipping
