"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.
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.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand if the TOB was really going bad, wouldn't I feel/ hear the vibrations if I'm holding the pedal at 50% - 100% and then reving in neutral? Since this would cause the TOB to spin.
What's weird for my issue is that you only feel it if you're moving the pedal. For instance, you'll feel if you rev in neutral and pump the clutch, but you won't feel it by hold it at any particular position.
I'm thinking perhaps something to do with the clutch fork due to it being related to the actuation motion. Again, any other inputs are appreciated! I'll give a listen if I can hear anything holding the clutch at certain positions tomorrow.
