    So I've had this whining noise that I assume its the TO bearing. It wasn't too bad. When I pushed the clutch in a bit it went away. I was headed home yesterday and all of a sudden my clutch pedal felt weird and then I came to a light and it just lost pressure. All the way to the floor. Nothing! Had to have it towed. No fluid leaks. I was hoping it could be something easy that I wouldn't have to pull the tranny. My mechanic says the TO bearing is probably pushed into the pressure plate. Sucks. I had the clutch replaced with a rebuilt one probably 7 years or so ago

    Yup. Stupid seals. I'm juuuust waiting for mine to completely go. And then it's clutch time. I presume no brake fluid in the passenger cabin?

    I didn't notice any fluid. Where would it be leaking exactly?

    Good that your rebuilt clutch lasted 7 years. Mine lasted 100 miles and after that only factory clutch goes into the cars.

    Out in the clutch assembly. Just wait... When you open it up there will be brake fluid in there. Also no brake fluid at the bleed block in the engine bay by the right sided cv shaft?

    Well it was the TO bearing. It was seized. Had the factory clutch and pressure plate redone ($180 awesome). Bleeding was a pain. Had to blow air into the reservoir to get some clutch pedal. Still might have to replace the master cylinder. Clutch catches really low. Have to pump it to make it hard.
