throwout bearing question

[Bernie Benz]

Tom, 
If the car has been driven reasonably over the years, not using the clutch
as a torque converter and it wasn¹t slipping, it may be good for some long
time yet. Inspect it. FLikely the flywheel and PP should be good without
resurfacing. Some shops can replace the friction surfaces on a good disk.
DFI if IAB!
