[Healeys] Clutch-related noise

[Brian Drab]

Would that not indicate that the front bearing of the input shaft of your transmission is causing the noise problem?

While driving today I noticed a new noise: A faint but constant whining/

purring sound that is present when the clutch pedal is NOT depressed, whether in neutral or in gear and whether in motion or sitting still. 

 

When I depress the clutch pedal the sound goes away. Clutch and transmission operation seem normal. BTW I have a Toyota five-speed with a BJ8 diaphragm clutch.

Thoughts please?
