It is the throwout (release) bearing. Usually its when you are in neutral that you hear it, and it goes away when you press it in. No big deal, just change it next time you change out your clutch.

Do any of you have a twin plate? If you
have a twin plate, its common practice for
that to happen after you get it all nice
and broke in. Now if its stock, it just means
your clutch is a little worn out..

that sucks, because I had the clutch, throw out and pilot bearings replaced!! Looks like they didn't do a good job of resurfacing the spindle or whatever that metal rod the bearings sits on......AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

Don't let it go too far or you'll desinigrate your pilot bearing.. I did that. But I got lazy and let it go for like a year.
*Edit* I shouldn't say desinigrate because there were peices still left, but let's just say "screw up"..

yeah, I know...last time it happened, they took out the clutch, the bearings were broken onto tiny pieces and scored that spindle-rod thingy.....they had to resurface the spindlethingy and I'm guessing they didn't do to good a job, cause I guess its coming back again....this is less than 3000 miles ago!!!

The prices of both bearings are cheap... it's the labor that kicks your *** in... SO look for a shop that just does alot of tranny work.. no rotary specialist needed fot that job...
