throwout bearing question

[John Lagnese]

It makes so much sense to change the clutch then also. The amount of
labor to get into there isn't worth doing again.

Subject: throwout bearing question

I've got a 91 200q with a bad throwout bearing.  I've put off fixing
the car 
because a) it's a bitch of a job to replace and b) the whole clutch  
replacement thing is pretty expensive.
 
Has anybody ever replaced the throwout bearing without doing the clutch
at  
the same time?  I'm pretty sure it's original at 248k, but there was no

slippage prior to the throwout bearing going, and I am not excited about
the  
thought of going back in there in a few months should the clutch really
need to  be 
replaced then.
 
I miss driving the car, and would sell it as is (it's listed in the  
marketplace), but would most likely keep it if I could get it back to
working  
condition for not much more than my labor, blood, curses and other
offerings to  the 
Audi Gods.
 
Any thoughts, Buyers, Offers of business loans to make this a
non-issue?
