My little brother had the same problem, the problem was that a ground wire from his amp was loose. but his whinning noise came from his speakers so I hope that helps.

Common symptom
Whining sound sounds like a bearing problem to me. That being the case, a rebuild or replacement is in your near future. You might luck out with a used, but it's a crap shoot.

yeah let me know if its just your clutch components like your throwout bearing. but i was checking up on that and it said the symptoms of a failing throwoutbearing is a whirring noise with the clutch pushed in? my car isn't like that. the whirring noise goes away when i push in the clutch and starts up when it is depressed.
