ok, so im coasting down to a stop when i get home, and all of a suddent when i try to put it in gear, the clutch has like a pop, and i cant engage in my gear, and when i press the clutch all the way in, it has like a loud whine, almost grind... i hope its not the clutch, i just changed it out about 2 years ago, not a lot of miles, no racing and i dont ride the clutch... plus there wasnt any burning and it has engaged fine the entire time...the only thing that i can think of that would be considered signs of wear would be is before, at idle, the car rand fine, then with the clutch pressed, no matter how far, there would be a slight whine/whistle... my thinking it has something to do with the hydrolic system, anyone have any input???

Agreed. sounds like they're going for as much out of you as possible. Throwout bearing doesn't suggest clutch is bad, and technically they aren't related beyond both being wear items.
I'd get the car towed elsewhere, $1500 sounds real high for a clutch replacement. Have your clutch hydraulics bled and you'll likley be able to drive again, but with a noisy throw out bearing, at least for a bit, but definatley get that replaced. -------------------- 1995 Black on Black Convertible
