Just took a short trip down the road, and all of a sudden i hear a pretty loud whinning noise. It starts around 15mph and just gets faster and finer. Its coming from the flywheel bellhousing area. It doesnt matter what gear i am in (5 speed), the noise is still the same. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

did you have the tranny out or anything to have this start?

 

just had the tranny out prob. 2-3 months ago for a rebuild. Put a new clutch and throwout bearing in.

 

Probably your wife when she saw the repair bills! Just kidding!
Check your freeplay on the clutch pedal, if it's riding on the throwout bearing it may be the noise. Hopefully it hasn't damaged it already.

 

HA! good one.

Clutch pedal seem pretty normal. it sounds like a bearing noise.

 

does it stop when u push the clutch in? how about if u put it in nutral?

 

only time it goes away is at a complete stop.

 

is it speed dependant, gear dependant, rpm dependant? i need those 3 things to try and pin point the problem. also, push the clutch in when you are at different speeds and see if the noise goes away.

 

its def. speed dependent. It only goes away if i am stopped.

 

its speed dependant only? doesnt change with revs or gear? the only thing that would cause that would be one of the two bearings that hold the output gear section inside the transmission, or something in the driveline. if it was the throwout bearing or trans input bearing, those would be engine speed dependant. if it was the input shaft pocket bearing, that would be gear dependant and would go away in fourth gear (direct drive, input and output shafts at same speed), and any bearings on the counter shaft would be gear and engine rpm dependant.
