Help With Noise When Pressing/Depressing Clutch
alright i just went out for a ride and when i came back and was putting my car in the garage i noticed a strange noise when i let out the clutch with the car not in gear. the noise sounded something like a strong air flow. although when i pressed the clutch back in it went a way. i havent noticed anything wrong with the performance of the car at all and im trying to figure out if this is some kind of warning sign of some sort. thanks for your help in advance guys.

does the noise occur rhythmicly?
if it is then it's probably the input shaft bearing. It's located inside the transmission. It's the common bearing that goes out.
input shaft bearing - noise if the clutch pedal is depress.
throwout bearing - noise if the clutch pedal is not depress.

Isnt it the other way around?
The throwout bearing is only in use when you press down on the clutch pedal.
So, If the noise happens when you press the clutch pedal down, that means its the throwout bearing.
But, If the noise happens when the clutch pedal IS NOT pushed down its the input shaft bearing.
Anyways, sounds like its your input shaft bearing. When that went out on my CRX, when i took my foot off the clutch pedal with the tranny in neutral it would make a sort of whirring sound, but when i pressed down on the clutch pedal it went away.

Re: Help With Noise When Pressing/Depressing Clutch (StreetOne)
Most definitely throw out bearing. It's real cheap but u have to get the tranny out to change it.

That could be either the input shaft bearing or the release bearing.
It's easy to tell what the prob is, once you have the tranny off.
I STRONGLY suggest you replace the throwout bearing AND the release bearing while you have the tranny off. The actual parts are really cheap. Buy OEM.

Same thing. The other one you want to replace is called the pilot bearing.
Try this...
Engine idling, tranny in neutral, clutch engaged (that means NOT pressing down the pedal). (Since it makes the noise now, it can't be the pilot bearing. It's not spinning now.)
Begin pressing down the clutch pedal. If the noise goes away in the first bit of pedal travel, it's probably the throw-out bearing. They commonly make noise when they're spinning but NOT loaded. When you disengage the clutch (by pressing down the pedal) you apply a load on this spinning bearing.
Or... suddenly & quickly press the pedal all the way down. A noisy throw-out bearing should get quiet instantly. A noisy tranny shaft bearing will take a second or 2 before it coasts to a stop.
So what?? Sure you can tell which, after taking the transmission out. But if it's a tranny shaft bearing, you might want to be prepared to replace or rebuild the tranny.

When you're NOT pressing down the clutch pedal, the throw-out bearing is very lightly resting against the pressure plate & it's spinning. The bearing can get loose & rattle, it makes kind of a metal rolling noise. When you press on the clutch pedal, you put some load on the bearing, that holds it together tighter & it quiets down.
A noise that ONLY happens when you disengage the clutch (press down on the pedal), might also be the pilot bearing.
