Clutch noise

Recently I have been having a real hard time changing gears in my 93 xlt 5 speed. As the problem has gotten worse (very difficult to change gears - double clutching helps a little) I have begun to hear a whining noise when the clutch is engaged.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Dennis

Sounds like it is time for a new clutch. Actually, the description sounds like problems with the throwout bearing and similar symptoms occur when the slave cylinder doesn't allow full release, but the solution is the same and when you open it up to fix one thing you are money ahead to replace it all. I had the slave cylinder problem, basically, after about 170K miles and it was getting hard to sift into some gears. Replacing the clutch and associated parts returned the shifting to like new (or better).
