Throwout bearing. If you can swing it, look into replacing the clutch while you are in there.

Well, I'm not sure. I know that the transmission has to come out, or at least back enough under the car to replace it. Figure four hours of labor, not sure what it would cost though. Different shops might be faster or slower.

Technically, you could tow with an F-body. It is rear wheel drive. You can tow up to 1500 lbs I believe, and it's been done before. I just hate to see someone leave the community...
