Q: Clutch making sound

asked by on January 23, 2017

Every time I press the clutch it does this clacking sound. Sometimes when I drive is hard to put it in gear and I have to muscle it specially when I try putting it in reverse. Someone told me it was the throwout bearing so I took down the transmission and got a new one but now I'm wondering if that's the only thing that could be causing the problem. Anything else I could do?
