Dunno if it is the Thrust Bearing, as my mechanic told me that mine is stuffed and makes the hissing noise, but only when my foot is off the clutch. when my foot in on the clutch the noise is gone..

i bought my car with the noise with compliance...

When I changed my clutch I did the thrust bearing and all was good for a few days then the noise was back WTF

Silva33 is right.. the thrust bearing will make a noise when your clutch is engaged (i.e foot off the clutch) That sounds more like a gearbox bearing dude..

could it just be an aftermarket clutch??

i have the exact problem it is a bearing on the input shaft or someshit like that my mechanic told me, hasnt had much affect on the cars driving up to now apart from the noise and whining, but if it gets worse then it will need fixing, and over time it will... mine is pretty loud so its gettin fixed soon...

cheers...ben.

a little off topic... my thrust bearing makes the hissing noise (foot off the clutch)... can someone tell me what exactly the thrust bearing does so i can decide how urgent it is to replace...

cheers.

To throw a spanner in the works: My 33 makes the same noise, did the clutch and bearing and it was still there. I gave my mech. a listen and he said 'that sound is the gearbox turning over when the clutch is out in neutral'. Sounds logical to me.

the thurust bearing is part of the clutch kit.. It is used to release the clutch pressure plate when you push the pedal down... You would normally replace it when you do your clutch

Hey guys i just got my gearbox rebuilt, and i replaced all the bearings including a new throwout bearing, input shaft bearing, and the noise is still there, i wouldnt worry bout it, the noise has dramtically quietened but its still there, i also replaced the clutch.
