My 86 MR2 has started making a weird whining noise whenever I push in the clutch, it seems to be engine speed related, and goes away when I let the clutch back out. I'm guessing that's the throwout bearing. Now the questions--what bad thing is about to happen to my car? Is there anything I can do about it short of replacing the clutch/throwout bearing? How long is it likely to last, before it becomes undrivable, and what symptoms should I be watching for?
