This has been posted before, but i cant find the thread and i remember noone ever getting a straight answer...  

Pretty much, the car makes a whining noise with a slight vibration when the clutch is depressed either in gear or neutral, makes no difference.  

There is no noise when the clutch is out.

The noise stops when the car is warmed up.  

The clutch *seems* to be in good shape.  No slipping, it holds at every rpm and grabs instantly from dumps and between high rmp shifts.  

My best guess...throwout bearing.    I'd like to get away with this as cheaply as possible... (Read: avoid changing out the clutch...since its in good condition)    

Any information is appreciated.

TIA,
-Al
