I called Freeman Mazda about the sound my car was making he said it sounded like the Throw out bearing and that I should just replace the clutch since they have to take it off to repair it and the cost would be $1,150 I feel like I'm about to get hosed does anyone know how much I should be paying for this kind of repair.

The Jew (before your time here) went through 3 throwout bearings and nothing really seemed to help. They are noisy with our cars, but I guess after a point they can malfunction. simple Noise is normal

So I shouldn't worry about it, this is normal for the most part? it can be a little irritating a nice looking car and it makes this noise LOL.

Well it depends on how loud it is and whether you can feel it. Mine whirrs and isn't noticeable unless I'm in a quiet location.

Call and get a quote from rotary performance. I bet they will give a better deal.

The prune juice he drinks at 4am is kicking in around the same time, so he doesn't want to take a chance with his Depends.

Definitely call RP first. I was quoted something close to that for a transmission rebuild including 2 new syncros.

PS. Hi kids!

Yeah, I know. Pop out a baby Lindsey/Brandon clone and see what happens to your social life!
I'm trying to come out of hibernation, I swear!

Not a valid excuse. My wife and I have an 8 month old and this has affected our social life very little. Time management is the key.

Duly noted. Kerrville, 1st weekend in April?
I may need a shop day for brakes prior, but it's possibly doable.
