Default Cricket In My Clutch

Im really getting sick of this Noise Comming from under my hood! I believe it to be the throw out bearing. It sounds like a really loud Cricket when the clutch pedal is all the way out. If i push the clutch in about 3/4 to and Inch the sound goes away. What do I need to do to take care of this!

A new clutch! It's probably the throw-out bearing but while you're in there you might as well replace it all! The labor is the expensive part. How many miles on your clutch and how do you drive???

Definately the TOB beginning to chirp. Buy a clutch kit...they come with new TOB's.

P.S. the clutch is probably worn too.
