My car has been making some funny noises latley, i'm thinking its my throw out bearing. No noises at idle, if i'm cruising at speed, but not on the gas (or clutch) there is a slight clunking noise, and if i depress the clutch it is at it's loudest. I'm thinking its my throwout bearing, does anyone have any input?

Bingo!!!!! I replaced mine when I did my clutch and it was pretty beatup. But it wasnt making noise.

Okay, everything is fixed.

I thought I'd check out my front suspension just for laughs and it turns out it wasnt my trans at all. Upon looking at the front left tire, I noticed that one of the wheel studs had sheared in half. Because of that, the other bolts loosened up causing the wheel to shake and make the noise. Surprisingly enough, I felt NO vibration in the steering wheel.

Im glad it wasnt anything too serious, but after driving 70 miles with the wheel like that I'm lucky nothing bad happened.
