Question How do you know when your throw out bearing going bad?

Yo was up everyone, i was wondering when do you know that your throw out bearing is going bad or going out bc whenever i put it in reverse and then put it in 1st gear, the front of the car virbrates like hell and when im driving i can put my foot on my clutch pedal n tap it just a lil bit and can feel virbration through the clutch and that never happen before with my car. is it my throw out bearing going out or something else? ive looked around on here and couldnt find nothing to help me out.

If the throwout bearing is bad it would make noise when the car is in neutral and you are off the clutch, but when you push the clutch pedal in, the noise goes away.

What kind of clutch do you have in there now?

doesn't usually go out but makes a squeak noise when you press the clutch pedal when stopped. these are usually replaced when you do a clutch replacement.

Damn from reading this I guess my throw out bearing is out. Do I have to replace it now or can I wait till I do a new clutch?

maybe your flywheel bolt back out and you pressure plate it touching your tranny which causes the sound. i wouldn't drive the car if its clutch or tranny related, it might cause further damage to your tranny. A way to check is to lift your car, remove the rubber seal on the tranny and use a flat head to see if your clutch is loose.

If its vibrating it sounds like a clutch/flywheel/pressure plate problem. Pop out the rubber grommet in the bell housing of the trans and look to see if you see any bolts that backed out from the flywheel. Could also be your retaining clip.
