Hey guys, bought my 2003 AP1 Silverstone Metallic about two months ago with 194k miles. The previous owner reported that he replaced the clutch and I definitely am noticing the distinctive "clutch buzz" upon decal. However, my transmission seems to making a whirring noise that sounds similar to a washing machine inside my gearbox. No metallic grinding or sharp noises, but something sounds like it's whirring around in there. I just took it to the dealer and they're still trying to figure out what is wrong with it. Does anyone have any ideas?

I've attached a video with the sounds.

Can't see video, does the noise happen when you press the clutch pedal or when your foot is off the pedal?

my gearbox whines a smidge when warm?
It may be he didnt use a good release bearing when he fitted the new clutch

Not really hearing anything bad or odd. Maybe if you could attach a small mic to the area near the base of the shifter, you may get better resolution of the noise?

I hope you put a new throwout bearing in when you did the clutch... Also, the clutch id hydraulic and needs only 1/8" of free play

Any idea on the clutch parts the previous owner installed?
