Hey anyone...What makes a throw-out bearing go bad in less than 50 miles? I got it all together in time for the 4th of July parade in Troy MT, drove it home (4 miles), and hauled it back to Kalispell. When I went to town for a checkout ride there were major noises. Looks like the bearing is fried. This means an engine out, right? I keep dreaming there is a way to fix it without major surgery. If I ever figure out the pic posting thing I'll put some on here to prove I actually have a car. Thanx, John
