When pressing down on the clutch pedal (clutch disengaged) I hear a high pitch whining/whirring noise. Happens whether the car is moving or not. Noise does not happen with the clutch engaged. (clutch pedal released) Car shifts pretty good, but I think I'm running out of room to adjust the clutch on the clutch cable. (Another issue that probably points to something needing replacement)
I've been searching through posts for an hour and my best guess is throwout bearing. Yes? No? And whatever it is, can I make repair without removing the engine? Thanks! |

Sounds like a throw out bearing is squealing for sure. I have the same thing going on in my car right now. I have heard of some people "re-packing" the bearing to quiet them down. of course on pelican they tell you to replace it with every clutch replacement . These go for something like 125 dollars. so if you bought your car without putting a clutch in it ... the PO could have reused the bearing from a previous clutch. Or it could of sat for really long time before you got to it. I doubt that clutch cable tension is the culprit. although you should consider that maybe the clutch cable tube has broken its welds and is moving around thusly changing the tension of the cable. To remove the bearing you have to separate the motor from the trans. ALso the running out of adjustment could mean that your cable is getting ready to snap.
Hope this helps. Nice to meet another Robert with a teener in the PNW QUOTE(rjames @ Jun 18 2011, 12:33 PM)  When pressing down on the clutch pedal (clutch disengaged) I hear a high pitch whining/whirring noise.
