whta do you think?

Fact is you have to pull the tranny to replace either the pilot bearing or the throwout bearing. Don't worry about which one it is, just replace both of them as that's the smart thing to do.

I have a similar problem, but a little different. I hear the noise whenever the clutch is engaged (foot off the pedal), and the second i step on the clutch (clutch disengaged) the noise goes away completely. I just replaced my clutch and the pilot and throw bearings while i was at it, and the noise is still there. It sounds exactly the same as before, so it has to be something else. I've had a couple people tell me that it is most likely the inputshaft bearing inside the transmission which makes a lot of sense. Would this require a full trann tear down, or is this something that can be be replaced easily once the bell housing is off?
This noise is just one of those things that really drives me nuts. Since the noise is there whenever the clutch is engaged (foot off the pedal), it's there all the time while driving, but just not as noticable. It just adds a lot of noise to the car that makes the FD a little more less tolerable everyday.

You will need to rig-up a long-*** puller to pull the bearing on the rear shaft. Most people are able to devise their own, however.
