Yesterday i went to grab a bite to eat and when i got back in the car and started it up pushed the clutch in and put the car in gear and reved slightly to move of and i heard a sound like some thing let go ( kindda like washers in a can). So i stopped and took the car out of gear and tried again and got the same noise.

I moved off and drove back to work really slow. The car drove fine other than the noise when i push in the clutch. However when i left work and driving home along with the noise came a chrping similar to the bird and it would happen while transisition into gear.

I was thinking the throw out bearing. could it be this?

Today i was driving and the same thing happens but sometimes the car wouldnt want to go into gear and i would have to force it in but it goes and it chirps pretty hard .

If i let the car idle and i rest my foot on the clutch there is a very rough vibration. there is a grinding sound when the clutch it out. chirping when clutch is in and hard to go into gear.

A friend told me that sound like my pressure plate but the clutch doesnt slip, and if i launch the car it bites hard and holds.

I am thinking my throw out bearing but would that makes the car hard to go into gear?

could be throw out bearing or main bearing in tranny

would the throw out bearing make the car hard to go into gear?

usually when a throw out bearing goes bad, the tone will change when you step on the clutch pedal, but i dont think bad throw out bearing will cause hard shifting. i am thinking maybe the fingers on pressure plate.
