Hey all, I'm broke down right now waiting for a tow truck, I think my clutch finally gave out. My throwout bearing has always produced a knocking sound but over the last week it has become violent and tonight I was unable to put it in fifth gear without the knocking becoming unbearable. If I stayed on the gas it would quiet down but once I laid off the gas it would come back extremely violent, to the point where it was painfully obvious that something was very wrong. After I got off work and drove a few feet, the car slipped out of gear and I was unable to out it in gear. If I pumped the clutch violently it would seem to knock it back in place and I could drive a couple blocks but when I had to lay off gas and downshift or start from stop it gave up. Does it sound like my clutch is just going or something else? When my clutch went out in my ranger it was nothing like this. The clutch doesn't appear to be slipping at all on the montero, just mechanically faulty. How difficult is it to replace the clutch? And how many hours labor ? I have found the clutch kit online for 165, just trying to determine how much labor/
