so im racing this all motor 5.0 on the h-way (mopac) doing about 65 or so and go to shift to 4th from 5th. so i slam in the clutch and before i can even get the shifter out of 5th i hear a loud pop/snap. i cant get the shifter into any gear and i coast off the highway in neutral. i coasted into a parking lot where i called my dad and a tow truck. so i wait ~15 min and start it up. it then goes into 1st and im able to drive it home with a few symtoms. i think its a throw-out bearing. here are the symtoms:
1)there is a strange mechanical whirring noise when the clutch is in and when its in gear;goes away when driving w/ the clutch disengaged.
2)i lost about 1/3 clutch pressure
3)every gear clunks when i shift into it.
4)the strangest-the clutch pedal is raised and comes out about 1-3 inches, like somthing happened to the pivot point.
i dont think its a burnt clutch b/c i put the car in 5th at ~30 and floored it and it grabbed
so how much do you think labor would be to replace a throw-out bearingmor do you think i can replace it myself?
can anyone give some advice/let me know what you think is wrong? thanks
