Default throw out bearing noise?

whining or squeaky noise when I pressed the clutch to the floor started today.

it's high pitched sound like seperntine belt sound.

when the clutch pedal is all the way up the noise stops.

Is it the throw out bearing?
can i drive around with it for couple weeks?

do i have to fix it right a way?

Thanks

I think you nailed it.. There's really no way to know how long it will last, but I'd say you have a couple weeks. My opinion: replace all of it.. clutch, pressure plate, and release bearing. Should last a long time

What about the pilot bearing? I have the same problem with my car. But was told if the noise is when you push the clutch in then its the pilot bearing. If its when you let it out its the throw out bearing.
