Idle Rumble/Clutch issues

[Kristeun]

After driving the car for at least half an hour I always notice a rumble coming from the front when idling. It goes away when you depress the clutch, and of course comes back when you release it.

Also, I can't keep the clutch depressed for more than 6-10 seconds or else it gets stuck about halfway on its way back.

Anyone have any ideas?

throw-out bearing...maybe?

Search for the "Getrag Rattle". I have the same problem, and almost did a clutch job before finding out that it was mostly harmless.

No idea on the clutch depressing.

The transmission input shaft bearing is making the noise. Don't worry about it. It will slowly get worse. Mine did the same thing for 40,000 miles before I changed the transmission. The clutch pedal issue is most likely the clutch slave cylinder or master cylinder going bad. It will get worse also. Schedule a replacement before they leave you stranded.
