ok fellow Subie owners, my 2002 wrx bug eye, has this whine in first gear thats similar to reverse. BUT, i only hear the whine in first gear if my foot is DOWN on the clutch. the noise completely disappears wen i let off the clutch. any help? the whine sounds jue like reverse.

is this normal?

p.s. im PRAYING its not the throwout bearing because im a broke college student. haha. and i know its an expensive job....

any help is appreciated!

 

Whoops wrong thread!!! Thanks!!
