In the morning when the engine is cold if i press the clutch pedel down and stick it in reverse there is a whine. It only whines when the engine is cold.
What could it be?
Thanks
ps: it's on a sr20 engine.

does it whine with just the clutch depressed but out of gear?
It whines just when im using the clutch, when im off the clutch it doesnt whine. As soon as the car is warm or been running for a while theres no whining when using the clutch or otherwise.
What could it be, a 200sx mate. If you start it up and theres no strange noises then I'd panicOriginally Posted by Blah
hahaha this
sounds like your clutch release bearing.
not expensive but a pain to d as its at the back of the g box lol! if you put ur foo ton the clutch and disengage the g/box.. it should stop.
that said, what happens to your car is exactly the same as mine. i just put up with it until i did the clutch
My Mrs whines when she's depressed, so its probably normal...
It will be the bearing as stated above
haha ok so will it get worse and wohats the worst that will happen and any idea of time frame?
Mines got the same problem. Been like this for about a year now with no problems, just sounds pikey
ok thanks i guess i'll put up with it.
I wouldnt just put up with it mate. You only mention whining when going into reverse, what about when selecting other gears? If its just in that gear then i highly doubt its just the release bearing.
Whats the mileage of the car?
Cheers Aj
I've had a release bearing go on my old Evo no warning it just went when I was crossing a round about luckily I had enough speed and no one was on the road to get across and pull over,I would atleast put some dow back for the job to be done or just get the job done
It does sound like the release bearing, i would personally wait for it to get very noisy or wait until i needed a clutch before fitting one.
deffo release bearing, euro carparts sent me an already used one and its whined right from the start, (over a year) it only ever does it when its cold for about the first minute then stops completely
Yes as above,
Def the release bearing and not the box.
The end.
Yeh i mentioned reverse as i normally reverse out of my driveway. It does whine if i put it in 1st when i dont put the car nose into the driveway.
