- Thu Jan 22, 2009 4:13 pm #91479 mainshaft or "throw-out" bearing we call it up nort'. if clutch is enganged and the noise goes away its definitely it. also, if its bad enough to be whining above 3500rpm, its really bad.. but i think you should check and see if you've got any trans fluid first, it sounds like it could be down a bunch as well.
