I have a 91 pathfinder. To replace the throwout bearing (do the clutch) you are looking at around $800 just in labor as on my Pathy, you must remove the torsion bars to remove the transmission....

My throwout bearing is a little growly. I'll drive it until it fails and then drive it home in whatever gear I can get it into. I'll be into the repair for the same amount of money.

For a 94, I'd suggest you look into the cost of the clutch job as you might add that to the deciding factor. Maybe yours is cheaper than mine. I strongly suspect that when you add the cost of that in, you will replace the motor AND the clutch/TB at the same time instead of seperately...

As an aside, 94,000 miles and a quart every 500 sounds like a valve guide/seals may be amiss. 94K is pretty low miles for that oil consumption. Mine has 217,000 on it and I use a quart every 2,500 to 3,000 miles.
