I replaced the transmission fluid and still the noise is happening. All I have to do is rest my foot on the clutch pedal and it whines like a cat in heat. When I lift my foot, the noise is gone. It just might be the throw out bearing/release bearing. Does that need to be replaced ASAP? Will it ruin the clutch if not? How much will it cost and the labor involved :madfawk: as well? Anyone!
