What's broke?

Most likely the throw out bearing as clutch fork movement causes noise when releasing clutch pedal , maybe front bearing but I really don't think so,, unbolt and pull tranny back and and look

TO bearing does not touch the plate fingers when running, clutch pedal not pressed. When the noise is going on...the TO bearing is not moving.

WHAT DO YOU have for a shifter ball / handle.......Decades ago a friend of mine had an ANNOYING noise from a cue ball shift knob, as did I, evidently caused by the air cavity due to a deep hole

A Hurst T-handle with a Line-Loc button.

That time it needed a cluster, ANOTHER main drive gear, and the mainshaft collar repair was failing, so a new mainshaft. I believe I had the gearbox out of that thing 4 times.

I hope to not be so lucky with my noises.

This occurred to me: Some years back I knew a guy that put a ceramic clutch in his Gen-2 Cummins Dodge. He pulled 20,000lbs. with it. The truck seemed to care less. You only knew you had 20Klbs. on your butt when you used the brakes. The clutch outfit said the clutch would make noise. Oh Yeah! It sounded like something was going to grenade. That never happened. The noise his trans made with that clutch is similar to what I'm hearing. The clutch mfg. referred to it as 'gear over-run'. That doesn't fit the definition of which I am familiar.

If the noise goes away in DIRECT gear while cruising, that would again point to the Front bearing.

I don't hear it when driving. I hear it ONLY sitting..in neutral...clutch pedal not pushed.

Got my GL-4 goo yesterday. I'll know this weekend if the noise is worse/better/the same.
