Clutch Problems

Been noticing lately that when I have the clutch in, even before it gets anywhere near full travel, it has a bit of a squeal. Nothing too bad but still something to worry about?

throw out bearing...not exspensive but need to pull box or motor out to fix it....lees performance at springwood can get them if you cant find one

Gotta get that done soon before it screws up big time then you wont be able to change gears!.. (happened to me in Bendigo and had to drive to Geelong with stuffed up clutch and had to crash gears..

easy way to do it is lift the motor up but not all the way out and you can just slip one bearing out and the new one in....

Actually... how old is the clutch? Does it have much wear left? Wouldn't it be easier if change the clutch assembly instead of doing the bearing alone? Just a thought.
