#2: Re: Thrust bearing.. Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon Jul 11, 2011 4:06 pm ---- it will

I'd rather pay £350 for a clutch than nearer a grand for a clutch and gearbox -.-

Still.. you read the horror stories.. so it makes me think 'is it really worth the risk?'

Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Mon Jul 11, 2011 4:29 pm ---- My gearbox is on the way out as well as the thurst bearing so If I have to replace one the other needs doing anyway. So untill it goes im just putting the millage on it, the gearbox has been whining for the past 20,000 miles haha.

Worst case it will push through the clutch cover and you will destroy the clutch

Its a plastic bearing no big deal.

Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Mon Jul 11, 2011 4:54 pm ---- I've had it happen on the motorway, thrust bearing let go at 4000 revs (due to a knackered link from cable to bearing), ball bearings and gearbox bell housing metal peppered the car behind and my bonnet had some lovely outward dents.
Yeah, they said on the phone 'between £300 and £360'
KrisB does them for £230 including clutch & fitted. Probably save you money to drive there, lol.
