whining sound when riding the clutch?
Hey guys when Im slowly reversing my car into the garage and riding the clutch a bit, I hear some whining sound. Is this normal, I just started hearing it today when it was like -30's here in Calgary.

Do you mean the normal whining while in reverse, or a new sound?

Find a place where you can go 15-20 MPH in reverse with the music off, you should hear a relatively loud whining sound. That's completely normal, a side affect of how the reverse gears are cut.
