Transmission Knock

[thom4782]

Hi all:

My 6 speed 01S has 160K miles on it. The transmission seems to work perfectly. It shifts smoothly, etc. The clutch was replaced at 125K.

Today, when I drove the car into the indie shop, the folks though they heard a rattle noise from the rear perhaps related to the exhaust. The shop put the car up on a lift and the noise seemed be coming from the transmission. The noise goes away when the clutch pedal is depressed and returns when the clutch engages. 

Any ideas as to what might be going on?

Thanks

Probably throw out bearing. These usually get replaced when clutch is done, so maybe verify that it was indeed replaced at 125k.
