Hi, sorry I know this really isn't the best site for this stuff but it's getting later in the day and the only tech site I know moves pretty slow. Besides, this site probable has just as much if not more knowledgable people then any other.
But here goes, I believe the throw bearing in the clutch of my truck needs replacing. Wednesday I got a real bad rattle from there when engaged, but it's gone away now. I'm just wondering how long I could get away with driving it like this? I really needed to go away this weekend but don't want to spend the money on a mechanic and won't have time until next weekend to change the entire clutch out if I do go awa. Will it survive or do more damage to the rest of engine? The rest of the clutch still has alot left. Should I risk it or just cancel and get it done as soon as possible?
thanks in advance for any help.
