That's the thrust bearing you can hear singing away to itself.

anyone know if this is covered by warranty

[Niall76]

At 130000 miles I seriously doubt it. It's just wear and tear

[Captain Answer]

Take it to your local transmission man and ask him to fix it for you, I'd recommend getting a new clutch put in whilst your there

I believe this is the release bearing ,ive had a few cars which have done this and have done loads of miles in them with nothing going wrong.:)

Same as mainly in the fords i used to own and some stopped after a while and it dont hurt to drive with a noisy bearing and if you only drive short times then go for a good run and clean the old girl out so to speak it works wonders .
