Re: First time needing help, any help appreciated.
If you are getting the noise in any and all forward gears and noise starts and stops due to a particular clutch pedal position - and is affected by engine revs - it almost surely is the release bearing ('throw out"). It probably has gone dry and started to seize on the trans shaft. This bearing is an actuator that rides on the trans shaft, is operated by the clutch fork (end of your pedal mechanism) and slides forward into the spring setup to disengage the clutch plate and backward to release the spring and let the engage. If the bearing seizes it may wear the shaft, but more likely will wear the fork contacts and maybe the spring tips. Not a bad job - merely have to remove the trans - good chance to check other clutch components while you are at it. Maybe replace all of them while you have it out. Probably just need to bite the bullet and start turning wrenches - or go to a good/honest clutch shop. Good luck - not a real bad one.
