You should be saying this, because that's what it is. If the noise/issue he was describing happened when the engine was off that'd be different. Mine made the "creeking" noise/feeling originally (before I replaced the TOB) but it did it with the engine both on/off and was due to the lack of lube on places where lube belonged.
"It makes a funny noise only when I push in the clutch pedal and only when the engine is running." Textbook definition of TOB going south.
OP should pay attention to the noise when the car is cold vs warm. Sometimes the bearing will make different noises at different temp. Mine howled when cold, almost silent when warm. My TOB started making odd noises (like honking sometimes) at about 20k.. finally got bad enough for me to replace it at 55k.

The TOB isn't working (pressure applied to it) unless the clutch pedal is depressed. |
Well I took my tranny out and replaced my TOB last weekend. It was shot, it made noise just spinning it by hand and when I looked at the distances of things when bolting the tranny back to the engine I'm pretty confident the TOB
does not engage the PP in its resting position. I would need Ultramaroon to definitively prove otherwise because my own eyes did see that as a reality.
