I see no evidence to indicate that your TO bearing could not be
ultimately at fault.

ASS-UMING anything is never a good thing. I say a teardown is in order.

You're both ASSUMING it's the transmission for no good reason.

You have a point, Simon. It's as good a place as any to start I
suppose. Back in the good old days, we used a screwdriver or piece of
rubber hose up against a suspect part to find out exactly where a noise
was comming from. The ear doesn't work neary as well as it should for
this sort of work.

The pilot bearing 'cannot' be the problem because the noise exists with
the clutch pedal up which means the pilot bearing is 'not' in use at
that time.

The pilot bearing only spins when the clutch is depressed, otherwise it
is fixed solid to the clutch.

A bolt coming loose from the pressure plate after a clutch re+re is not
unusual at all though....
