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! |

Someone mentioned in a earlier thread the possibility of using a later model Bug release bearing with an adapter (?????). This would be great for me ( $- X 10 ) as I have two brand new ones of this flavor.I understand that some parts are going to be less reasonably priced than others , but a release bearing ??? Oh well .
