Throw out bearing?
Back in 2018 at about 98k miles my throw out bearing failed. From what I remember, white smoke coming out of the hood, real bad and loud grinding noises. I’m guessing the transmission shop replaced with an OEM tob, but I wasn’t even thinking about it at the time. Fast forward to now with 155k miles, my car sat for 3 weeks while I was out of town and when I drove it when I got back 2 weeks ago I noticed a humming, almost light hissing, noise when the clutch is pressed lightly or engaged. Noise goes away when not touching the pedal, and doesnt happen when I touch the pedal in idle.
Guessing it’s the tob? But what’s odd is the noise is only there half the time when I’m driving, not every time. Is this just early stage failure and the noise will likely continue to worsen until it fails? Also does anyone know roughly
how much time you usually have before it’s really gotta be changed? Thinking about tackling it myself but it’s been quite a while since I’ve done a job near that big before, and just have my garage space to try.
Any help is super appreciated!
