Whirring Sound ok this only happens when the clutch pedal is pushed in, it will make a "whirring" sound and you can also feel it through the clutch pedal, it's like something's making very small contact w/ the recipricating flywheel?
also, when the car is making a WOT shift, i can hear a "grunting" noise coming from the clutch area? it's almost like the whirring sound when the clutch is pressed in, but it's a little more louder and deeper noise.
ya'll think this is a sign of the throwout bearing going bad?
clutch does not slip at all, it grabs and holds good, just got these wierd noises in which are not normal.
car is a '99 Z28 w/ stock hydraulics and stock clutch.

I might as well replace the clutch while i am there then right?? I really don't have the money for a clutch but i hate to take it all apart and then turn around and have the clutch go bad lol but its not slippin tho.

Keep in mind, this car has 111K miles... on a supposedly STOCK clutch.
I had the car before him, and i bought it at 42K miles... with a "STOCK" clutch.
So noooooone thinks it could be the clutch?! It's the wierdest sound i've ever heard.

if theres a wierd sound coming from the clutch assembly you might as well replace the whole thing.
the 01/02 slaves are updated for better engaging and disengaging.
