Angry Dealership = FAIL!!!! :(

To make a long story short on friday evening, i was headed home and my clutch pedal was feeling loose and after 10 mins of driving and shifting the clutch pedal was stuck to the floor and i was unable to shift. I had to stop on the side of the road and push the car into a random smog shop. Called the dealership and they told me they are about to close and they will look at it on Monday. So i get it towed to the dealership and I am worried because i have a lot of mods on the car (stillen gen 3 , headers, Berk HFC, Magnaflow, Cobb)

So, On Monday they look at the car and tell me that my salve clutch fluid cylinder is leaking and needs to be replaced. So they order the part and tell me its gonna be done wed. So today is wed and i was happy to see my car and drive it home, but when i was driving it home i heard some whining from the transmission and this weird noise when i have the transmission in neutral. This was not there when i dropped the car OFF

Here is the link to the Noise.... YouTube - NOISE Transmission chatter

any comments. will be appreciated.

Go start it up again and slightly depress the clutch pedal in and then out. If it changes pitch, The throw out bearing is more than likely toast.

Even though I have a 5at, I have had plenty of experience with clutches that grab at the high end of the pedal stroke.(high throw clutch)

If you are riding the clutch while driving( i.e resting your foot on the pedal slightly while driving) You may be over heating the T.O bearing with out realizing. The fact that your clutch slave was heading south may have added to the problem.

In any case, thats what warranties are for. The good news is, You get to beat their loaner for a day or two.
