Ever since I got the car, everytime I push the clutch in I hear a whirring sound. Is that a sign of a bad throwout bearing? Also it seems like the clutch has been engaging higher up due to more wear, where is the adjuster on these things (it doesn't look like there is a firewall adjuster). Its a king cobra clutch and it does have and adjustable cable/quadrant, just don't know where it is at.
Another problem I have been having for awhile is a vibration that I can feel in the floor and in the shifter when at higher speeds and light on the gas or slowing down. It does this most of the time when I'm driving but some times it stops then starts up again randomly. Could this be due to the throwout bearing? Its harder to shift and the clutch seems harder to push in when this stuff happens. Could it be a bad driveshaft/ u -joint? I pushed the driveshaft up and it does have some play in it. Thanks for any help.
OH yeah forgot to mention sometimes it feels like something is jumping when I shift into third. I just replaced the tranny mount and i'm pretty positive the engine mounts are good. My rear end is also getting rebuilt (new ring and pinion and seals), but I dont think that would be part of the problem.
