Fill the tranny with Redline or Mobil 1 or another good synthetic and see if that helps.

"At low speed a hum/whistle occurs when I am moving in gear and not touching the clutch pedal. If I apply the smallest pressure to the clutch this noise goes away"

From: Close enough to annoy you.
Same thing happens with my car, I'm guessing it's the tranny making a racket or perahps the pilot bearing? (Dunno if they make noise)
My tranny is starting to go bye bye, worn synchros and all that jazz by the look of it. The clutch in the car is pretty new so
Guess I'll swap trannys, buy a used one or else just rebuild this one...except rebulding tranny's hurts your hands.
That and I don't have the stuff to do it anymore....*sniffiles*

Bad joke, I know.......
Anyways, I think it may be the throw out bearing, although I don’t see this as an immediate problem. Bearings can make noise and not affect the shaft they are supporting, but it will need to be replaced one day. The noise hasn’t gotten any worse and I only notice it on occasion. Seeing as the bearing housing is used to depress the unit and there’s no problem with that function, I’m going to let it sit till after winter once it’s out of storage or until I need a need clutch. Unless some else sees this as a terrible plan???
