Probably a bad throw-out bearing, or something of the sort.

yeah your clutch sounds like it's gone... when i thrashed my throw out bearing i couldnt get into gear. only somtimes and it would make a rattle noise from the tranny when i put the clutch down.. get it checked out... it's your clutch

It's not unlikely, especially if you didn't break it in properly, or your clutch hydraulics are going bad and aren't working well.

With car parked, engine running, tranny in neutral, foot off the clutch...
In that mode, the pilot bearing & TO bearing are unloaded. The input shaft & countershaft are spinning.
A steady ticking noise means a possibly chipped input gear.
If the sound stops when you step on the clutch, that will confirm it.

Throwout bearing it seems. Although it could be your tranny. drain your tranny fluid and see if there are any peices of metal in it... the plug has a magnetic tip, so any metal will be caught by it. If you see chunks of metal... hope you have your chequebook handy.

i was thinking about getting a whole new tranny( i can get one pretty cheap) but you guyz think its the throw out bearing or what????

if im in neutral an foot off the clutch yes it does click like something is hitting something right underneath me

but when i rev the engine (foot off the clutch) it starts to click harder and louder, well its always really loud though.....

A good used tranny costs less than a new input shaft.
A short (maybe 30 day) warranty is enough to tell if the replacement has a problem.

Most used parts places will only give a 30 day warranty.
That gets you a replacement if the one they sold you had a problem.

I broke my input gear about a year ago. I put in a used transmission from a local salvage yard. I still have the old tranny in case it has some parts I need later.
