from your description it sounds like the gearbox input shaft bearing which is making the noise,
the clutch thrust bearing would only make a noise as you press the pedal,
when the pedal is released the thrust bearing is not in contact with anything and not turning so could not make a noise.
Get the gear box oil checked first.
It is called a throw out bearing. Yes, it is bad. The part usually has a 12,000 mile or 1 year warranty. If they failed to write the mileage, they have to stand by the one year, it is their fault for not taking the mileage down.
Hi all i drive a 1995 ford escort mk6 with 55k miles on the clock to date.
Last year i took my car to get the clutch done at Mr clutch at around 45k miles, Everything has been fine until the last thew days, i did a 2k round trip for work and i started to noticed a whining noise from the gear box but when i put my foot on the clutch the noise went. I turned the car off when i get home and went to it the following morning and the noise was gone, so 2 days went by and the noise comes and goes.
So my question is what do you all think the problem is i personally think the thrush bearing has gone.
Also i cannot take it back to Mr clutch as the guy who did the last inspection put a x through all of the miles for the service so i thought i didn't have to go back any more but it turns out i did so they voided my warranty.
