The throwout bearing on my clutch seems to be going out quickly. It was making a "whirrring" sound for a while. Now it is screeching some and my truck hesitates a little when taking off.
Normally I would take it to my mechanic in the Charlotte area, but I've been pretty busy lately.
Any offers? Advice on where to take it?

whatever you do, use a real Toyota OEM throw-out bearing

I try to avoid using non oem bearings because the penalty for failure is high (redu)

If I still had a place to work on shit, I'd do this. But alas, I do not.

you could sell me the truck and not worry about it

$7,500 and I'll throw in a new OEM bearing for you to replace on your own
