Do I need tranny work or a new clutch?

[theonlyjbwcbs]

Ok, here is the issue, while driving in any gear with my foot off the clutch, I get a high pitch whirring noise from the clutch / tranny. When I press the clutch in, the noise goes away, no matter how fast or slow. Does not affect drivability (at the moment). My clutch just started sliooing slightly in 3rd( now I know I need a new clutch). My questin is, is this a tranny problem initially? If so, I don't want to replace the clutch and then shortly I have to go back and pull the trans for repairs. Just trying to keep down on the cost as I am a new, learning NEWBIE ! Thanks you guys . . . . . . .

might be like a pilot bearing or through out bearing which should come with any decent clutch set up drain the fluid and look for shavings

most likely your tranny is good. sounds like a throw out bearing to me

Definitely sounds like the throw out bearing. Time to pull the tranny and do some maintenance.

Well if you have any doubts about the clutch, you mights as well replace the clutch while your replacing the TOB because it won't be much more work to do that. I reccomend using a mitsu TOB when you replace that too.

japanese TOB , taiwan TOB , just in case u were thinking on saving some bucks don't. I installed taiwan once and starded doing the same noise after 4 days or so. You should take advantege of the situation and install some upgrades (pressure plate, clutch disc, flywheel) up to u.
