I dunno if I would run it with a bad throwout bearing... Grn N Gry 5.OH has the same problem right now and he tries to avoid driving his car.

Where in MD do you live? I go to Mason Dixon to drag, too.

Yo man, a bad throw out is a rough way to run, but if you got the $$ to fix the damage it does to your clutch then, hell run 'er. But if your heading to Mason Dixson i say you should wait till sunday, its Ford day!! I'll most DEF. be there


BTW I'm just outside of Winchester VA, pretty close to Fredrick

I'm going to be replacing the clutch, pressure plate and baering next month anyhow. I can wait until then to run I suppose.
