A quick one for all of you in the know, I have ready many conflicting sources of information on this one but need a definitive answer. While my car is running and is in neutral with my foot OFF the clutch I hear a noise which sounds like a squealing belt.

When I put my foot on the clutch slightly, the noise goes away.

My question is, does this sound like the input shaft bearing, or the throw out bearing. If anyone has a definitive answer I would be most greatful. The reason I ask is I have just had a new exedy clutch installed, with new throwout bearing etc.

Like I say I have searched, but there are many contradicting sources out there. Just wanted a definitive answer.

Cheers folks,

Throwout bearing for sure....

 

I had the exact same thing.

About 5 weeks after installing my Exedy Stage 1 clutch, my release bearing (new one that came with the clutch) went and needed to be replaced. Sometimes you get duds in life .....

 

constant noise all the time (clutch engage, clutch pedal not depress)= input shaft bearing

noise only when clutch is disengage(pedal depress)= throw out bearing
