Default New clutch whine when pedal is engaged - help!

Car has 72k on it. I just started noticing a whine that sounds similar to a power steering whine when you are low on fluid. It only sounds when i push the clutch pedal in and it sounds like it is coming from the firewall. master cylinder seems to be at the full mark on the fluid. Does anyone know what this could be from?

Does it do this all of the time or only when it's been raining out or it's wet/damp/foggy out?

I too say throw-out bearing. If you're going to replace it, replace the clutch at the same time.

It does it all the time regardless of humidity/moisture.

Is this premature failure of the throwout? Not sure what the usual life is but 72k seems early for anything transmission related.

This sounds similar to a problem I am having with my 2001 RS. Everytime I put in the clutch to change gears there is a whirring (whining) noise from the front of the car. Did you find out for sure if its the throwout bearing?

I took it to one shop and they couldn't hear it. They said that to wait until the clutch goes out. I'm just driving with it and hopefully I can get a clutch/flywheel in the fall.

hmmm, ok. Yeah, I am hoping to have a shop guy take a listen and see what they say.
