Default Throw out bearing?

Slight rattle when clutch is in at idle. That sound right? I haven't owned a stick in about 15 years...

Yeah, if the clutch is pushed down and it rattles, its ur TOB, if noise happens when the clutch is out or engaged, it can be a whole host of probs. Good Luck. I had to have a whole new bearing kit installed in my trans. 800 dollars later, runs great.

Anyone know how to tell what size the clutch kit is for my model? I've looked at a few and I see 8 7/8, 9, 9 1/4,...anyway to check this out before cracking it open? If i'm gonna open it up im going to replace everything...Makes sense to me anyway...

if its when the clutch is out and its making a noise it most likely is your pilot bearing
