I've got 93K miles on the Max with the original clutch and flywheel. At idle (not all the time) it sounds like a "chirping bird". When I push in the clutch slightly, the noise goes away....

Any ideas on how long the throw out bearing could last?

Thanks for the replies

 

I have that exact same noise from my tranny too. My dad says it was the throwout bearing and I thought the same thing. I took it to nissan.... And I got a N.F.F. I only have 45k miles tho. I think since it goes away it shouldnt be that much of an indication of failure, but I could be wrong.

 

I recently got my 02 SE 6 spd and I notice that if im rolling back and starting off slow I get a horn like noise but its not as loud as a horn. I was thinkin possible a throw out bearing too maybe. Ive got 72k miles.
