ok, so im coasting down to a stop when i get home, and all of a suddent when i try to put it in gear, the clutch has like a pop, and i cant engage in my gear, and when i press the clutch all the way in, it has like a loud whine, almost grind... i hope its not the clutch, i just changed it out about 2 years ago, not a lot of miles, no racing and i dont ride the clutch... plus there wasnt any burning and it has engaged fine the entire time...the only thing that i can think of that would be considered signs of wear would be is before, at idle, the car rand fine, then with the clutch pressed, no matter how far, there would be a slight whine/whistle... my thinking it has something to do with the hydrolic system, anyone have any input???

ok, well i have not bleeded the system yet... i dont have any tools since i moved out of my parents house... well, after thinking and discussing with my mechanics at my job, (i work at carmax) thay were saying the same thing, but the tow to get it there would have been an arm and a leg, so i towed it to this place near by called cottmans transmission, i figured since they are franchised, i figured they must be pretty damn reputable, but any ways, they say the whining noise is coming from the transmission, nothing hydrolic, and its going to cost me another 250 just to drop the transmission so they can further diagnose it... something sounds fishy... it has to be something with the hydrolics of it... before my car would start, but now, it wont start because i think anyways, the clutch isnt pressed far enough in.... before when it did start i could engage it in all gears fine, and when it was off as well i can engage fine... so why or how would it be my tranny??? something sounds f-ed up... i havent signed anything off to them to authorize anything yet so...
