Went out and started the car this morning to move it in the driveway. I noticed a noise that is coming from the clutch... kind of a "whirring noise". Really noticable when the engine was running at just under 2k rpm. When I push the clutch pedal, the noise goes away, when I release it the noise comes right back. Hard to hear when the engine is just idling. I've taken a video and you can hear the noise... It may have been doing it all along and I just hadn't noticed it yet. I just want to know if I should be concerned or not. I'm really hoping it's not the pilot bearing as I really do not want to have to drop the transmission again.... Thanks!

that would be the bearings in the transmission. continual useage it will gradually get worse but that's probably thousands of miles down the road. u could replace them, i'm sure they're still availabe, or get a used replacement but u chance getting the same or worse.
