I think that my throw out bearing is bad from what you guys say, but my definition of whirring/grinding might be different. I don't hear grinding and I'm not sure I hear whirring. Well, here is the clip. I disengage the clutch and the noise is heard. When I engage the clutch, it's gone. It sounds more like a sucking sound.

what do you mean engage and disengage?

Engage, your foot off of the clutch

Disengage, foot on the clutch.

I don't think you quite get it. If you have a noise when you engage teh clutch then you have a problem. Read the thread again.
