Transmission Whine Options

[HardHead93]

Within the last few days I started getting a whine from the car whenever I push the clutch in but it goes away as soon as the clutch is fully engaged or fully disenaged. It even happens if I ride the clutch without fully disengaging it (no, I do not ride my clutch normally). Everything is pointing to the throw out bearing. mad.gif CRAP! I just got the car all back together and now this. The sad thing is that this is a fairly new throwout bearing that came with my SPEC stage 2 clutch. If I had to guess, there is less than 2000 miles on this throwout bearing. Is the throwout bearing going bad or is it just going to make that noise because it is not an OEM part?

Awesome thanks,

I had noticed that the factory always upgrades to the E series transmission when it goes to turbo. But by the time you hassle with getting the mounts and the axles to work for an MR2 e153 you just as well go and get an st205 and do the full awd conversion. Which is a project for the future.
In the mean time I'm going to build my AE92 Corolla because it has the 4age stock. But I'm still in the same boat with a C52 transaxle. I can put a lim slip in it but once I boost it I'm afraid the tranny won't last too long. But I probably wont go over 250hp anyway.
