when i got my '95 talon Esi back in february, the throwout bearing was making a little noise. well, finally the weekend before xmas it died on me about 40 miles away from home, night out with the boys. had to leave her, n come back with a car dolly. after 3 full days of workin on her. got a new clutch and throwout bearing back in, changed the tranny fluid, installed a new passenger side inner CV boot. she is runnin just like new. thanks to the help of a friend of mine who also has never installed a clutch on a front wheel drive. tons of experience gained this past weekend.
