Ive searched and read up on some similar problems ppl have wrote on the forums but still want some opinions... I drive a 92 coupe, dohc 5-speed, and I just noticed tonight that theres a strange noise coming from the front of the car as i depress the clutch and go to put my car into gear. not a high pitch whining or popping noise, but a noise similar to...the power antenna going up or down....that "type" of sound. And its not exactly hard to put it in gear, but i notice a noise that i didnt notice before today. It doesnt happen with the car in neutral, only when i press the clutch in, and try to put it into any gear. It just started snowing today but i doubt that has anything to do with it? Is it TO bearing issue? Im gonna go out and drive it up the road to see if i can diagnose it any further tonight, but please throw out some opinions...other than search. Thanks alot

one other thing i was having clutch issues before but it was the slave cylinder. i replaced that and the master, and everything has been fine since...

If this is a TO bearing problem, how bad is this gonna be?

yeah that does sound like a throw out bearing issue. It'll involve dropping the transmission...that's already bad news, but after that you just have to pop the bearing off the carrier and then the hell of putting back up the transmission.
