I got my 84 gt 350 running back in july got 1500 miles on the new motor. but starting a fews weeks ago getting a wine coming from the transmission. transmision is a ford motor sports t5 I bought new now has around 7000 miles on it. The wine is only when I put my foot on the clutch peddle and the more I press it in the louder the wine. no noise with trans in netrual and chutch peddle released. I put a new release bearing in when I installed the motor but the chutch fork had a lot of wear on it. could this wine be coming from the release bearing because I should have replaced the fork? if so is it going to damage anything to drive it for a while til I can get time to pull the trans again?
 
It's likely the throwout bearing.
It's common that it happens, even with brand new ones.
I doubt it will do any damage, but my advice is to fix it as soon as possible.
 
Your symptoms are backwards of the usual TOB noise issue, which would make me want to change it quickly. Normally the bearings are quiet when loaded. If it's your TOB, it's noisy when loaded. That's not good.
