I'm not an expert but sounds like a pilot bearing.

Someone should help you soon.

If it's an Exedy Stage1, it could be the clutch itself. I've had a rough time with them, with the last Exedy Stage1 clutch never engaging or disengaging properly, lots of noises, etc. Pulled it off with less than 100 miles on it and it was fraying. Replaced with oem and zero issues. Prior stage1 burst at 20,000 miles, same driving that got me 90k on the oem.

I can't provide a positive recommendation for the stage1.

I use a Center Force Clutch and recommended it.

I want to get a center force but my budget wont allow it, my local Mazda deakllership (ive had problems with them before) recommended the exedy stage 1 as a better then OEM solution,
I had to get it replaced as the original was slipping and was becoming undrivable,
Thank you RIWWP, i will take your information to them and get them to sort it out,
I love my RX but unfortunately bad customer service, car servicing and now this is making me wonder if I should have even brought it in the first place.

Whining noise sounds pilot or throw out bearing related, but who knows be the clutch too...
