240 throwout bearing 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Meehan on  Mon Jan 3 18:19 CST 2005 [RELATED]

My '89 240 manual transmission wagon has been making clutch noises the past several hundred miles. It is very clearly the throwout bearing (characteristic grinding/squealing noise when clutch is engaged). My question is, what are the risks of not replacing the throwout bearing right away? I'm being tender and staying off the clutch at stops, etc. When I took my wagon in for its 240,000 mile service a few months ago, they did tell me the whole clutch would have to be replaced within the year...I'm now at 245k. How many more miles can I wait?

This wagon is original clutch, original engine, in my family its whole life, no major engine problems ever, every service done on time. My jewel.
