Clutch not fully engaging?
 

I'm getting an issue similar to my last one where reverse wasn't catching, I'll post up the video when I get home. The noise is similar to what happened with reverse, I have the video posted below, but it's MUCH more subtle. In the video it's really hard to hear it over the engine noise because of how soft it is.

So it's the same type of noise, really quite, goes away when I press in the clutch, and gets louder and faster when I rev the engine. Any ideas?

ALSO: happenes whether i'm in gear or neutral.

I've talked to a couple people and they have suggest that it is a throw-out bearing. Thoughts?

EDIT: And after FINALLY finding a SINGLE thread about this issue, GO48 suggest that it is an idle shaft and it's completely normal. Is it normal? It seems weird to hear this constant whirring sound and if it's going to come back after I fix it I might as well just leave it.

Ok my 2004 RX8 will not crank at all it was running fine my girl drove it and she said she went to shift the gears and it was not doing anything ,so when i get there i try to crank the car but it sounds like the starter is not ingageing just spinng try to push start it but it didn't Evan turn the moter will not turn over in first gear nuthing please help

The starter turns the flywheel, so if it's not turning the engine over, you have a bad starter or starter solenoid that can't engage the flywheel.

​​​​​​You might ALSO have a worn out clutch, if push starting it doesn't turn the engine over. What gear were you pushing it in?
