Hey, C.G., I need some mechanical advice.

My car has a manual transmission. It has been difficult to shift for a few weeks / months, but has gotten worse the last few days, especially shifting into 1st when stopped. I mentioned it to the dealership when I had my oil changed Sat. They said the tech noticed it also and that it may be my throw-out bearing. The car doesn't even have 46,000 miles on it and is out of warranty. I'm supposed to make an appt so that they can "tear into it" and find out what is wrong then fix it.

Should I be looking for another car? Do you think this will be an ongoing problem for me with this car? I just paid my car off 2 months ago.

What year and type car. The throwout bearing is a possibility but I would double check the hydraulic clutch reservoir first.
