Problems problems

About a week ago I took my Rx8 to a Mazda dealership, they did a recall check and all that noise. In the test drive after the guy noticed that the throwout bearing was ceasing. I'm just hoping it's covered under my warranty and not just normal wear and tear.

Next off, Today I got in my car and turned on my music. Noticed right off that none of the passenger side speakers were working. I checked the settings on the stereo and it was set to 0 for center.

Hoping this is not the beginning of many problems, anybody know what the cost of labor to change a throwout bearing and perhaps the clutch too?

not cheap, you will be looking at at least $400 (random number i came up with)

think about it, labor are at least $40 if not $60 an hour, it takes quite a bit of work to expose the clutch, plus parts.

Wow.. that's cheap. The going rate around my area is between $85-$100 per hour.
