I taught my wife to drive stick on my '04 Saleen. Granted, it's not the best idea to practice on a 400hp car but so be it..... We'll, my clutch is making a whirling noise now. If the car is in nuetral, clutch pedal up, no noise Press the peddle down (any amount) and the whirling noise starts. Clutchs grabs fine, no slipping, no smells/smoke. Any ideas?

Thanks!!!

I would have thought throwout bearing, but usually the noise occurs opposite to what you're saying.

Release bearing huh? Why? I know what the throw out bearing is although that would whine then the pedal is fully up (like you state)

my vote is for a bad TO bearing...

seems like as soon as put a lod on the bearing it's starts to make a noise...but I suppose it could be the clutch fork...

Click to expand...

no the ToB will make noise when the clutch is engaging/disengaging as well. Some people get the clutch out whir, and some get it the other way around.
