Mine does the same thing when i press the clutch in and out. I need a new clutch because it is worn and the bearing inside will squeak at idle sometimes. Maybe you and I are in the same boat. Either that or its the normal noise that our clutches make. After all, that thing is spinning and then coming to a complete stop when we press the pedal and let it go in the matter of milliseconds.

Throwout bearing.

Our clutches are noisy anyway, but when you start hearing that metallic whine to it, it's usually plunging toward failure rapidly.


Bearing is usually included with any clutch kit.
