slow clutch release... possible causes? 700

To be honest I don't really know what the throwout bearing is... the inner workings and relationships of the clutch/transmission is slighlty beyond my current level of knowledge. Subsequently I don't really know if that could be the source of the trouble... what role does the bearing play? Is it the component that actually disengages the transmission and is controlled by the clutch? Any particular reason it would stick?

And you mention brake hoses... is that just because a "brake hose" would have been used to lead to the tranny? Sounds stupid, I know, but I'm assuming the brakes themselves aren't involved? ;)

Thanks a bunch, I appreciate the help. I had the m46 (used in very good condition) put in a little under a year ago (bout 10 months) to replace a dead one (1, 2, 3 frozen). The guy who put it in is solid and I bought the m46 from him (it was left over from a conversion for someone else), so if there's a problem he should be willing to address it (though I'm sure there'll be some grunts and sighs going in).
