Throwout Bearing-Already searched, didn't find exact

I believe I have a bad t/o bearing. Yesterday when I depressed the clutch to go into reverse, I got a very bad knocking/car vibration. It felt like a centrifugal force under my car, and these forums led me to believe it's that. Today I got it in a few gears(1, 2, 4) To add to this, I just got my clutch and flywheel replaced in August by a dealership.

My questions are:

Does the T/O bearing sound like the problem?

If it is, how much will it cost(ball park), and will I have to get a new clutch as well?

Can I drive on it a few days before I take it into the dealership, or is this considered an imminent transmission failure type of thing?

the throwout bearing should *not* fail out of nowhere. there must be some kind of signs b4 hand. for example, weird noise when you press the clutch down.

The throwout bearing itself is cheap. I have 2 Extra ones lying around and I can ship 1 to you for 35. its the labor to take the transmission down that will kill you.

What you can do is, bring it back to the dealership, and tell them what is going on to your car, you did the thing at the dealership so they should cover it, its only 1/2 year.

Make the appointment with your dealership now, if your tranny is really making weird noise, I suggest you NOT to drive it. tow it to the dealership who did your clutch.
