This has really got me stumped. I get a whining noise, quite noticable that follows the engine RPM. It happens more when the car is cold, it happens when the car is stationary or moving (so it's not a bearing). It's not related to any pulleys or the serp belt (I removed it to test). It goes away fairly consistently after a few minutes (but not always). I don't think it's a air leak, doesn't really sound like it and I looked all over. As far as I can tell (getting over, under and around) it's coming from the transmission area. I did the cable->hydraulic clutch conversion 3 years ago and it's been working perfectly. Any ideas? Would the (only 3 year old) clutch throwout bearing be able to make this noise at idle in neutral? Thanks for any ideas!
