Your throwout bearing will make noise only when you push the clutch pedal in. That's it.

If your getting noises at idle, in neutral, foot OFF the pedal, it is usually the clutch. Either the pressure plate or the clutch disc springs can make noise.
Sometimes with a rough idle the transmission gears can make noise when idling, clutch OFF the pedal.


The only other thing it can be (pedal not pushed) is the input shaft bearing, or trans main bearings, and that's usually on old transmissions.

If the sound goes away when you push the clutch pedal, it is your clutch.

If the sound happens when you push the pedal, it is your throwout bearing,.
