First thing that comes to mind is the throw-out bearing. But those things usually make more of a squeal sound than a whine sound when they go.

well if something is screwed, why is it only when its cold??

[mustangman]

That's just the way throw-out bearings go sometimes. They squeal when they are cold but quit once they warm up a little.

Not always that way though, my car is losing it's throw out bearing right now and it squeaks when my foot is right off the clutch. Soon as I push the clutch in, it quits. Doesn't matter if it's hot or cold.

[edawg2g1]

yeah that seems like the case with me, but its only when its cold..it only lasts for about 5 minutes..depending on outside temp.

Mine squeels when I have the clutch pedal in, but if I keep taking taking my foot on and off the clutch pedal, it eventually goes away for a little while.

I'm having the exact same problem. Also I'm getting a squeaking sound when I press the Clutch Pedal in, must be the Clutch Cable. Is this stuff serious? If I need to get this stuff fixed I might as well replace the clutch disk and maybe get the flywheel resurfaced, since the whole shebang's gotta be opened

Well the thing is, you gotta pull the transmision to change the throw-out bearing, so at the very least, have a good look at everything and make sure the rest is ok, or change whatever else is needed while you have it apart. Unless of course you have the cash and you're gonna upgrade anyway.

Sounds like the throw out bearing. Sounds kinda silly... but have u checked the clutch/brake fluid?
