Throwout bearing

I just changed my clutch pressure plate and t/o bearing. It is still whining. Im pretty sure it isnt the syncros because it stops when I push in the clutch. Does the t/o bearing need to break in? Or does anyone know why it is still doing this?

It's most likely an inside transmission bearing because when you push on the clutch pedal you are stoping the movement in the tranny. If it's the one i am thinking about it gets quiet in 3rd gear.

It is slowly curing its self so I am not too concerned. Ive only had the car for about a week and I changed the clutch and all the related parts and the tranny was only about half full and the fluid was fubar. so it may be internal prob. Damn I hope not. Thanks for the help.
