There is nothing you can do while it is assembled in the car. 99% of the time you never know what is really wrong until you disassemble and inspect. Best case you will end up with a new clutch and throw out bearing. Hopefully nothing wrong with the transmission, but it would not hurt to do a cursory internal inspection while it is out. Better to head off trouble before it becomes a real and expensive problem. Or, you can just drive it until it breaks. Just my 2 cents.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1481503462862_11312">Mike MacLean<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1481503462862_11313"><span></span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial"> On Sunday, December 11, 2016 4:26 PM, Michael Oritt <michael.oritt@gmail.com> wrote:<br></font></div> <blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv0134836534"><div dir="ltr"><div class="yiv0134836534gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff;">It seems unrelated to engine speed and sounds the same with the car stationary in neutral and clutch out as it does at speed in any gear.</div><div class="yiv0134836534gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff;"><br></div><div class="yiv0134836534gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff;">Best--Michael Oritt</div><div class="yiv0134836534gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff;"> </div></div><div class="yiv0134836534gmail_extra"><br><div class="yiv0134836534gmail_quote">On Sun, Dec 11, 2016 at 3:24 PM, Michael Salter <span dir="ltr"><<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:michaelsalter@gmail.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:michaelsalter@gmail.com">michaelsalter@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="yiv0134836534gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div dir="ltr"><div class="yiv0134836534gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms, sans-serif;font-size:small;">Michael,<br></div><div class="yiv0134836534gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms, sans-serif;font-size:small;">Can you determine if the noise is related to engine speed?<br></div><div class="yiv0134836534gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms, sans-serif;font-size:small;">Michael S<br></div></div><div class="yiv0134836534gmail_extra"><br><div class="yiv0134836534gmail_quote"><div><div class="yiv0134836534h5">On Sat, Dec 10, 2016 at 4:57 PM, Michael Oritt <span dir="ltr"><<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:michael.oritt@gmail.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:michael.oritt@gmail.com">michael.oritt@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="yiv0134836534gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div><div class="yiv0134836534h5"><div dir="ltr"><div class="yiv0134836534gmail_default" style="color:rgb(51,51,255);"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:verdana, arial, tahoma, calibri, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(250,250,250);">While driving today I noticed a new noise: A faint but constant whining/</span></div><div class="yiv0134836534gmail_default" style="color:rgb(51,51,255);"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:verdana, arial, tahoma, calibri, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(250,250,250);">purring sound that is present when the clutch pedal is NOT depressed, whether in neutral or in gear and whether in motion or sitting still. </span></div><div class="yiv0134836534gmail_default" style="color:rgb(51,51,255);"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:verdana, arial, tahoma, calibri, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(250,250,250);"><br></span></div><div class="yiv0134836534gmail_default" style="color:rgb(51,51,255);"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:verdana, arial, tahoma, calibri, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(250,250,250);">When I depress the clutch pedal the sound goes away.
