    Default front end noise. bearing??

    when the cars runnin in neatural it makes like a girgling and whirling noise and when you put the clutch in it goes away? it happened to my old gearbox. got it replaced cos it had no 5th or reverse haha but got a new one and it still does it?
    any ideas at all?

    its the bearing thats on the shaft of the front of the gearbox
    it gets pushed against the pressure plate so that the clutch works or is on in other words
    cheaper to do yaself you only have to by the bearing slide the old one off and slide the new one on
