My thow out bearing is making a chirping noise. I was wondering if the throw out bearing goes if it can hurt my car. Or what should i do about this?

get an adjustable clutch cable, then you can take up the slack.

so if i get an adjustable clutch cable it will stop the noise?? How much do those go for and are they hard to put on

throw out bearings are friction bearings that slide on your input shaft to clutch..

more likely it got hot one too many times,and no it won't go away with just an adj. clutch cable..

What should i do about it? i dont wanna listen to the noise but i dont wanna spend as much money for a new clutch to fix a little bearring. Is it gonna hurt my car if i dont fix it?

if i'm not mistaken...it can scar the shaft...cause premature failure to your pilot bearing,and then say by-by tranny,and clutch.

How much to replace a throw out bearring? And do they go easliy and are there some that will last the life of the car?

20 bucks maybe less easy to put on..just don't break the tabs like i did.

If your car still has an alumunim throwout retainer then it's only time before it eats it then it's trashed. The throwout bearing is only like $40 for a good one and a steel replacement throwout retainer is $39.99 from summit. Get it done and forget it.
