T56 Rattle while clutch pressed in

Just noticed this yesterday while driving home. It's not the normal neutral rattle with the clutch up, this only happens when I have the pedal all the way down. Sometimes it's very light, other times it is louder and I can feel some vibration in the clutch pedal. I've done a few searches and about the only thing I found was perhaps a bolt from the starter might have come loose or possibly the clutch fork.

Anyone else have any ideas? I'll be taking a look tonight once I get home from work and am just looking for good places to start. If I can avoid spending a lot of time to fix this that would be great.

Hopefully your clutch isn't falling apart....

I doubt that's the problem, everything is fairly new. Just got done putting everything back together earlier this year. Something loose, most likely. Still, I'll take a look at it anyway, just to make sure it isn't damaged.

If it is the throw out bearing, where's the best place to get a new one? I see OReilly and autozone carry them, but they aren't in stock and have to be ordered. Any preferred ones out there?

If it has a bearing and that is the problem then replace it with the bushing.
Check old post on this.

Will do, I should start tearing out the trans tomorrow. I hope it's something simple, but that never seems to be how it works out.
