Wow... only 16,000 miles and my throwout bearing is emitting this whirring noise when the car is idling in neutral and clutch isn't depressed. It makes an already noisy-as-hell transmission even louder!

As soon as I push in the clutch the whirring sound goes away.

That sucks... I was hoping Ford didn't use those plastic-raced Federal Mogul throwout bearings anymore, they really are inferior!!!

Anyone else have this problem?

 

my 06 (with 900 miles) does it. i just figured it was the tranny's input shaft spinning in neutral when the clutch reengages.
