Does a bad thow out bearing sound like a bearing
The hub bearing can go bad and create noise.
When a TO bearing starts to go bad you will hear noise when you push on the clutch. Also shifting will be more dificult when at slower speeds.
age, damage, lack of grease I think it is cause by lack of oil on the bearing that will cause metal to metal contact which will cause over heating
It is more than likely a bad wheel bearing they go out a lot in these cars
When the clutch is adjusted properly the throw-out bearing is COMPLETELY disengaged as soon as you take your foot off the clutch. A throw-out bearing that is lightly touching the pressure plate can often make noise, especially if the bearing is getting ready to go. Make sure the clutch is properly engaged. There should be about an inch of play at the top of the pedal throw. Also make sure all of the springs are in place, pulling the clutch forks off the bearing.
maybe the transmission linkage, throw out bearing or modulator
Wheel imbalance, bad wheel bearing, bad rotor(s).
If a bearing is bad, You will hear a whining noise from the bad bearing. Try to listen if it is up front or back. The noise will get louder as you go faster. Turn left and right to determine what side the bad bearing is on. If you turn left and the noise gets louder, the right bearing is bad, turn right and the noise gets louder, the left bearing is bad.
Typically the main bearing goes bad and causes the fluid to leak out. Antifreeze has a lubricant in it which helps to lubricate this bearing. If only water is used in the radiator, this would shorten the life of the bearing. Otherwise, just normal usage would cause it to fail at some time. Premature failure can also be caused by having the drive belt too tight on it. A serpentine belt with automatic tension helps to prevent this problem.
If it was the throwout bearing, it would affect all of the gears, not just one. I would suspect a bad gear or syncronizer.
Heat, lack of lubrication, contamination of the lubricant such as water or dirt,entering the bearing, or carrying a heavier load than the bearing was designed to handle.
