Hi,
I´m quite worried about a weird noise I´ve recently discovered, It sounds exactly like in this video I found in youtube
It basically sounds when not pushing the clutch pedal, does not matter if a gear is engaged or not, or if the car is stoped or not
It is supposed to be the TOB, but wanted to confirm from Your experiences before ordering a new clutch kit, planning to order the OEM including the pivot bearing.

Thanks in advance and apologizes if my English is not that good.

If it sounds just like in the video then I would guess throwout bearing...the symptoms sound pretty accurate if it only happens when clutch pedal is actuated.

Thanks for the reply.
It actually sounds when NOT actuating the pedal.

I recently bought a 2002 AP1 few months ago, and I have the same whining noise! Since I got my car, I have clutch replaced, as well as the pressure plate and release bearing. noise is still there
I took it into a transmission shop and had them swap out 8-9 bearing inside transmission and noise is still there!
I ran out of the parts to replace .... almost every component that is moving and possiblly making that noise is replaced or regreased

I'll be really really interest to know what is the exact cause to this!

Interesting.... and frustrating.

Have you tried changing the pilot bearing too?
