Im thinking that my throw out bearring is going because my dad (diesel mechanic as well) said that he think it might be going. is threr any other possible alternative to this?

why do you think its going?

i thought mine was going in my dodge, then all the springs blew out of the pressure plate. throw out wasn't to bad.

when you depress the clutch it makes a bit of a clattering noise.

huh.....the one i had would make noise untill you depressed the clutch.....

I've had two vehicles that had bad throwout bearings and both of them made all kinds of noise when you depressed the clutch pedal. For what it is worth, whatever the problem is will require access to the clutch - I think the throwout bearing is the cheapest thing it could be to replace. If the clutch has been there a while, might as well replace it while you are there...

replace the clutch...and the bearing...why not right...you gotta pull it all down anyways

funny thing...i would rather not have to replace anyting i juss wanted to know if thats what the problem was. if so i would most likely replace the clutch wile i was at it

well it probably is going...and you probably should replace it....
