yesterday my clutch just started making a loud schreeching noise every time i engaged it so i tried to get home as fast as i could without shifting too much but theres deffinitly something wrong with the clutch mechanism i think because it only makes that sound when i engage it. also the pedal doesnt push in as smoothly so what's wrong??? if it is my clutch how much would it cost to have it fixed? I know a guy that used to work for GM that just got laid off but does work out of his garage and im sure he can do it if thatrs the problem but i hope its not too expensive

Most likely its your TOB. I would replace that, the clutch and pilot bearing

Agreed with the TOB. You also might need or want to replace the bearing retainer.

Good luck.

Throw out bearings whine when the clutch is pressed, but since your there replace the clutch and pilot bearing.
