yes i searched.. but i have a question.. i posted about this way long ago... when is the throw out bearing part of your clutch? or the tranny? when i g o start out in 1st.. it makes like a squealing , like grinding whining noise.. and its getting on my nerves.. will ita ffect the tranny? should i get a new clutch or what? i kinda lost.

 

Throwout bearing is not a part of either of those systems, it's down there and it's like "a part of the transmission," but it's really a part of the clutch release mechanism.

Squealing, grinding, whining noise.... Belts? I don't think the throwout bearing can be part of a symptom like that. If the TO Bearing has problems, the symptom will be dependent on clutch actuation. Granted taking off has clutch actuation, but why doesn't it do it when you're shifting? Hmmm... How are you so sure it's down near the tranny and clutch?

i have a bad throwout bearing in my tranny right now.. it sounds like a grinding type of noise but when i step on the clutch the noise goes away

 

Me too.
It sounds like a family of squirrels live under my hood.

It goes away when I push the clutch in.
So is it the throwout or the input shaft bearing?

I heard it could be either one...

 

i also have another problem.. my clutch pedal sticks once in awhile...

now im confused... TO bearing or IS bearing hmm anyone else?

 

I have the same problem. Fixing it Friday though. It's getting to be a bit too annoying.

 

Whatch this video and tell me if this is the same noise...

You guys are all talking about the throwout bearing. I had the same problem but replaced it recently. edit: make sure you grease it up when you replace it.
