yes it's your throwout bearing...it's a bitch because you have to take your transmission out, but after that it's like 30 secs to replace...

Yah meaning some people have told me that when you push the clutch in it should feel firm if the clutch is new, if it isn't or it's worn or damaged it will feel soft or easy to push in and wont engage as well as it should or as fast or hard as it should...
