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! |

You will need a new one any way. |
