Interesting Tranny Issue - Throwout Bearing? Options

[Coomer]

Lately my tranny has been making noise. When the car is in neutral with the clutch pedal out, the car will often make a sort of soft repetitive clacking noise. If I let off the clutch pedal very softly however, the noise is much quieter. And the noise disappears when I push in the clutch or when I am in gear.

Does this sound like a problem involving the throwout bearing? I had this problem before, so we replaced the throwout bearing when I put in a new clutch, and now I've got the same problem again.

yeah, but the throw out bearing cant really do any damamge, its just a bearing. most of the time when u hear of horror stories, its because the owner was sliping the clutch so much that there was too much heat for the pressure plate, clutch and flywheel to handle and those parts broke...so, dont try doing any burnouts and youll be fine for now
