Weird sound - throwout bearing? 140-160 1972

posted by  someone claiming to be Michael on  Fri Dec 7 09:18 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Today while driving I noticed a weird sound when shifting from 1 - 2, 2-3, 3-4.

When I would push in the clutch (and let off the gas) I would hear a "spinning or whirring" sound. I would let out the clutch in 1st, accellerate, push in the clutch and it would be a zzzzzzzz sound (sorry for the sound effects, or lack thereof). I can only think it is the throwout bearing. Or would a bad clutch be causing this? The car seems to shift fine and the clutch seems very strong, but the sound is definitely noticeable. Once when I held the clutch in for an extended period (going from riding in 1st to a stop) I heard more of a whirring sound for as long as I kept the clutch in.

Are my suspicions correct?
