RE: Throw out bearing
Well when it is going out it will make like a sweaking sound, I have had some make a light tap, but it can also completly sieze and allow no pedal movement what so ever.
What are you experiencing righ now with yous?

RE: Throw out bearing
My wife's 98 is making noise right now but I am just dealing with it until we get the money. It's not too bad right now but if I want someone to hear the good side of the car I just hold in the clutch and the noise is gone

RE: Throw out bearing
There are a few different throwout bearing failures you will hear.
Projectresto83 mentioned allowing no pedal movement at all.
I can't visualize a bad bearing allowing no movement unless the inside is seized to the retainer shaft. In that case the bearing is still spinning but can't move forward.
If putting slight pressure on the pedal stops the noise. The bearing is on it's way out. You've went from it rattling around to letting it touch the pressure plate fingers, it self centers and quiets up.
Next after that it will seize. Now when you touch the pedal you are trying to introduce a frozen bearing to a spinning pressure plate. Squeel city since metal to moving metal is not too quite.
