Hi guys

I'm trying to determine where the following noise comes from.  The noise is
a steady loud whining noise when the car is at idling and only after it has
been driven for a bit.  The noise does not change with the revs of the
engine when parked.  I can't heard the noise when driving.  My guess is the
clutch throw out bearing or the tranny itself.  But before I replace both I
was wondering if anybody has experienced this noise.

TIA

Lino
