Hey guys I have a MX5100 with 160hrs on it and Im noticing my clutch is getting noisy, I can hear it at idle as if you can hear it spinning, when you depress clutch pedal it goes quite. Is this normal wear and tear or should I be concerned?

Clutch shouldn't make any noise when foot is not on pedal.
One of 2 things:
Linkage it's out of adjustment and letting the throw out bearing ride on the pressure plate, and if your hearing noise it's probably already done damage.
Something mechanical like return spring or pressure plate is bad or broken allowing the throw out bearing to run up against the pressure plate and again if there is noise it's probably already done some damage.

Wolfman, I checked the linkage its within the 1" that it should be. When I say noise, its hard to describe. At idle you obviously hear the motor, but also maybe like a low static noise, and as stated when you clutch the noise disapears. Would what you mentioned fall under my powertrain warranty?
