Default whine from the clutch?

ive been noticing a little whine when i put the clutch in. whether im just idling for shifting into a gear, i hear a slight whining almost like when a power steering pump is low on fluid or going bad. and its been getting louder in the past week. any ideas?

Im guessing the Pilot bearing.Half the time that gets skipped when clutch kit is put in.
TB usaly makes noise when peddle is out not pushed in most of the time.

Sounds like a cheap auto parts store replacement. Never heard of the kit or the store if it were me I wouldnt cheap out on my clutch especially the TB those are prolly the first to go out.

But yes you should do the pilot when you change your clutch I agree!!

You pay for what you get. Glad your clutch has held up! Somethings are good to get from auto parts stores some aren't. And my personal opinion and cause I've seen them go wrong after a 10k miles is get something good. If you get a good product it should last 40-60k miles give or take depending how you drive it!

Its like saying my cars tuned for 93octane but I put 89 in it cause I know the owner of the gas station and he says it's good. Ya it's good until something goes wrong cause your puttin not the best gas in. Not saying go use race fuel or go find the most expensive clutch. Just use a product that fits your car and it's power!
