How old is the throwout bearing? The only reason I can think it would be whining is maybe it needs to be greased. T/O bearing is an easy and cheap fix, its just a pain in the a** to drop the transmission.

I'm about 99% your problem is the transmission bearings and not the throwout bearings.

Dont mean to steal your post but Im actually having a problem just like this. Every now and then when I disengage clutch it whines but will never whine when the clutch is engaged. It does it mostly when coming to a stop and I push the clutch in early instead of holding a gear until I stop. I replaced the clutch and throw out bearing in June of last year with the exedy kit. This is a very annoying problem as well. Any ideas?
