Clutch Noises?

[bt23]

Hi, I have recently got back from a 3 week holiday and since then my R33 GTS-T has been making some strange whining noises when downshifting. I am guessing it is the clutch since it only happens when releasing the clutch after shifting. Not sure exactly what clutch I have since it was purchased by previous owner, but it is a heavy clutch of some sort (and a few months back I have gotten the clutch oil changed).

Any input or ideas greatly appreciated, thanks!

Just to add, my clutch also makes tiny squeaking noises from the outside when clutch pedal pressed down (very quiet, can only hear when car is idling at a stop). Anyone know what might be causing it? Something need regreasing?

Any input or second opinion would be appreciated before I take it in to the mechanic and splash out money on something I am not sure about

Sounds like the thrust bearing is starting to wear out, or could be the input shaft bearing.

Thanks for the reply. How pricey are the replacement of the bearing usually? Sounds like a bit of labour involved

Thrust bearing isn't so bad, circa $250-300 to replace...

Input shaft bearing...that's a whole different game, gearbox = $$$$.

mine does the same but mechs told me its the main shaft bearing
