I think my thursh bearing has gone?

Hi all i drive a 1995 ford escort mk6 with 55k miles on the clock to date.

Last year i took my car to get the clutch done at Mr clutch at around 45k miles, Everything has been fine until the last thew days, i did a 2k round trip for work and i started to noticed a whining noise from the gear box but when i put my foot on the clutch the noise went. I turned the car off when i get home and went to it the following morning and the noise was gone, so 2 days went by and the noise comes and goes.

So my question is what do you all think the problem is i personally think the thrush bearing has gone.

Also i can't take it back to Mr clutch as the guy who did the last inspection put a x through all of the miles for the service so i thought i didn't have to go back any more but it turns out i did so they voided my warranty.

Added (1). My next question at college we was always taught to replace the clutch/throw out bearing and pressure plate at the same time. I have a spare throw out bearing could i get away with just replacing that.

Car losing power and idles?

So I drive a used ford escort zx2 4 cylinder. I just hit 120K.
My problem started about a month and half ago. I was washing my engine and water got into the spark plugs. When I tried to start it my car miss fired and was losing a lot of power. So I change the spark plugs, used a cloth to get as much water out, sprayed some w-40, and let it sit in the sun for a few days.
Everything seemed fin!
I was planning a road trip cross state. 400miles. I took my car to my mechanic to see if it could make it. He checked the spark plug pressure by taking one out and putting something in. He said I was losing power but as long as I kept an eye on the engine temperature and didn't push passed 65 I was good.
I made it! However my car is dying. I'm losing a lot of power.
My car dies when I stop. It idles horribly. It shakes really hard and not the good normal shake.
Last week I turned on the ac and my car just stopped. While I was driving. **** gave me a heart attack. I stopped and unplugged the maf plug and notice my car would Idle fine when I did that.
So I've searched on the internet what the problem might be. Someone say IAC is bad others say it could be a bad pvc tube causing a vacuum leak.
So my business is done in this town and I need to make the 400mile road trip back home. I usually made repairs on this car with my uncle but I'm not home. My only option is to go to a mechanic. So I don' want to be cheated. Could you list all the different types of repairs and thecost

Is a ford escort se 1999 a bad car to start off with?

I'm a teenage girl and I don't have a car yet but I have a car that nobody uses in my family and it's a Ford Escort Se 1999 it's in very good shape and hasn't been used a lot the thing is I don't want people to make fun of me for having a old car, do you think it's a bad car to start off with? It does have many problems like it doesn't have a battery and I don't know what else is wrong but there's a lot. So i just hate how you still have to roll the windows down by your hands other than that I love everything. But will people laugh at me for having a older car?

Is it safe to refill your cars A/C with R-143a if its empty, if you just want it to last for a day?

1998 Ford Escort. My car's A/C has had multiple leaks for a couple years now and has been empty and unused since. I'm driving down to Atlanta, GA, and would like to have at least some A/C for the drive down there. The last time I had the system fixed, it lasted for a week until it all leaked out.

If I have every intention of keeping the car running for another few years, but no intention of ever fixing the A/C system because of how expensive it would be, am I going to do any damage to the car (or the compressor) if I just go and fill the system up with a can of R-134a, maybe with the sealant added in, like you can get from an Autozone?

Added (1). But will I be doing any damage to the car or the AC system itself?

Why does my car shudder when I turn the air conditioning on?

Hi. I have a 2006 Chevy Cobalt with a 2.2L Ecotec engine. The engine has about 114,000 miles and runs great BUT when I turn on the A/C the car shakes and shudders (not bad but enough to be like what the hell was that?) and the RPM jumps up and down especially when I slow and come to a stop. When I slow down to about 10 or 15mph and stop, just before I stop the rpm jumps to almost 0, shakes, then goes back to normal. My old ford escort did the same thing. WHAT THE HELL IS IT?! Lol

What should my first car be?

I like muscle cars. But I don't like them unless they have a v8. I like all car companies (Gm, dodge, ford). I have a low 3000 budget. And I don't want a neon, cobalt, caliber escort.

91 ford escort, smokey exhaust?

My 91 ford escort GT, started billowing white smoke out of the exhaust, like a hotrods burnout amount of smoke. Pressure on the accelerator only makes it worst. I heard that maybe it is a blown head gasket. Any suggestion on what is causing this embarrassing situation?

99 Ford Escort with car alarm problem?

I have a 99 ford escort that when I lock it with the remote, 5 to 10 minutes later the car alarm goes off. I use the remote to turn off the alarm and then everything is fine. This happens every time and I'm sure someone out there knows the answer.
