When pressing down on the clutch pedal (clutch disengaged) I hear a high pitch whining/whirring noise. Happens whether the car is moving or not. Noise does not happen with the clutch engaged. (clutch pedal released) Car shifts pretty good, but I think I'm running out of room to adjust the clutch on the clutch cable. (Another issue that probably points to something needing replacement)
I've been searching through posts for an hour and my best guess is throwout bearing. Yes? No? And whatever it is, can I make repair without removing the engine? Thanks! |

The Doc's right. Hell I pulled the transmission out of the yellow rust bucket up at the arlington pick n pull. The car was sitting on their trademark rim stands, one rim stand holding the back of the car up placed under the exhaust can. It was a little scary Pulling the trans ... but you do what you have to do. I might be able to team up with you and help you get that transmission out for that clutch change.
Let us know what the good evil dr. does for yah |
