Does it 'shake' the car?

You will probably need a new clutch.

either the throw out bearing is fucked... or your pressure plate teeth are bent...... its still drivable... but it will only get worse......just get a new clutch....

throw out bearing

Wouldn't the throw out bearing make noise if the clutch pedal was pressed down so then the throw bearing would be in use?
Sounds similar to my symptoms. It ended up being a popped spring grabbing the flywheel bolts.

I wouldn't think it would hte the throw out bearing, guys. Think about this.. Your throw out bearing is only engaged when the clutch is pushed in.. Otherwise, it's just sitting there doing nothing, not touching anything. He says the noise stops when he pushes in on the clutch.. Meaning, when the throw out is riding the pressure plates, the noise stops.. I don't think I see how it could be the throw out..

Sounds like a front input bearing...

it is not the throw out bearing becouse i had the same problem i took the ranny out and looked around i found that it was the main bearing in the tranny it's self,.

the car doesnt shake....its like this...i start the car....i hear a chatter noise...a press the clutch...the chatter goes away and i let off the clutch again and i hear chatter...sometimes when i rev it up to 4 grand (big rpm's to an hf motor) u can hear the chatter in 1st gear but as soon is it goes into second gear its gone...strange but i think its a bearing or some ----....im thinking bout going to the junkyard and seeing if i can get another HF tranny or just put a whole DX or SI setup in there cause im not trying to make it fast just an everyday driver.
