manual transmission noise

[reut1]

ive noticed an issue with my transmission recently, most noticeable when in 5th. its almost a ticking/clicking sound that ill hear constantly. even on highway when i put car in neutral and just move the stick to left or right a little bit, ill also hear it. ive put in new gear fluid last fall and have probably put on 10-15k since then. currently car has 166k on it. any ideas what that noise could be originating from?

Is it with the clutch? There is no way to know for sure unless you pull the trans, likely just one of the many bearings in the trans.

maybe something to do with your throwout bearing, could be something internal as above you have to pull the tranny to look

this will happen with clutch in and out. wont make the noise when ive got it in neutral, only when i move the stick in any direction, but it makes it worst when its moved side to side. putting it in 3rd or 4th with clutch in has it a little, but not that loud. of course i get an issue right after our first snow :/. ive got a garage but the miata is residing inside it for winter
