A throwout bearing is a small bearing that engages and disengages the clutch when the clutch pedal is pressed or released. It allows for smooth operation of the clutch and helps to extend the life of the clutch system. A pilot bushing, on the other hand, is a small metal sleeve that is used to support the transmission input shaft. It helps to align the input shaft with the clutch disc and flywheel, ensuring that the clutch engages smoothly and without vibration.

If your throwout bearing or pilot bushing goes bad, you may experience a variety of issues with your clutch system. Common symptoms of a failing throwout bearing include noise when the clutch pedal is pressed, difficulty shifting gears, and clutch slippage. A bad pilot bushing can cause similar symptoms, including clutch chatter and vibration. If you suspect that your throwout bearing or pilot bushing is going bad, it's important to get it checked and replaced as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your clutch system.

The cost to replace a throwout bearing or pilot bushing can vary depending on several factors, including the make and model of your vehicle, the brand and quality of the parts you choose, and the cost of labor in your area. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $50 to $150 for a replacement throwout bearing or pilot bushing. However, neglecting to replace a worn or damaged throwout bearing or pilot bushing can lead to more serious and expensive clutch problems down the line, so it's best to address these issues as soon as they arise.
