Throwout bearing usually makes a high-pitched squealing noise. Does it
make noise in neutral with the clutch out (like at a traffic light).
If I had to replace the throwout bearing, I'd probably replace the clutch
and have the flywheel resurfaced. If I had the flywheel off, I'd probably
replace the rear main seal too.
If I had to take out the tranny, which would be required for the above
services, I'd also probably replace the tranny mounting fixtures.

Hi,
On my last trip to town yesterday, I noticed a vibration on the clutch
pedal and an occasional whining noise that stopped when I pressed on the
pedal.
Shifting was fine, no slipping, like usual. How long do I have until the
bearing does any more damage?
Clutch was replaced 80 000 miles ago or so. Should I simply replace the
whole thing while having work done there?
This is my dd and only vehicle, I probably won't be able to get a spot at
my mechanics until next week, so looks like I will be biking...
Any ideas on other stuff that I could do in there apart from the main seal?
thanks
