   if it happens when the clutch is pressed then it will be the release bearing as this is when pressure is applied to the bearing.
   Would get it replaced asap as you dont want that shattering leaving you without a clutch to get home

   +1 if its making a whining noise its already nackered. get it replaced mite as well get a full new clutch kit. don't get a cheap one go with a valeo or a L.U.K and you will never see any problems mate. aslong as its fitted well.
