Did you try what I suggested?
Also, you can check for yourself whether or not it's the throwout bearing by reaching in and pulling the clutch fork forward. Just pop the hood before you start it, locate the clutch fork, start the car, listen for the noise.
Pull the clutch fork forward which ensures the throwout bearing is pulled back away from the pressure plate. Does the noise go away?
I'm open to it maybe being the throwout bearing but you would hear and feel other things depressing the clutch pedal.
It's the gearbox.
