Huge whirring noise when clutch is depressed

[jamaicanvibezz]

Hi All,

The most annoying weird thing happened today, while driving home, the car started to make this really weird whirring/grinding noise, then became difficult to move off on clutch control alone.. it then eased up abit, but whenever i depressed the clutch in 3/4 gear, the normal engine braking sound was WAY louder like a huge whirring sound.. i think it could be the gearbox or clutch.. really annoying as im trying to sell it off.. plus to put it into first gear is VERY stiff, literally have to push harder to get it into first...

anyone have any idea what it is?

Could be the thrust bearing in the clutch, does it sound like it's vibrating
