Bad Throw Out Bearing?

[YlwMSP]

So when I push the clutch pedal in, and the engine drops down to idle, I can hear a squeaking/rattling noise. Also, when the car warms up, and you try to accelerate normally (not launching) the whole car shudders and seems like it's trying to rip itself apart. The clutch holds well, it doesn't slip at all, even when doing WOT pulls.

How can you tell if the throw out bearing is bad/going out?

throwout bearing wouldnt cause that much of a driveability issue... I dont have a lot of manual transmission experience but to me it seems like you have a Pressure plate/clutch issue.

Try this

Check your clutch line/slave cylinder visually and make sure thats good ( i say this bc its easy and it takes 1min)
next go start your car and slowly let the clutch out and explain to me what you hear/feel (you want the clutch to grab without any wierd noises for proper operation)
Then if thats good then im kind of at a loss without more info

Just keep in mind that it might not be a clutch issue if you say its holding well... Ive heard hundereds of times of how bad the g15mr (Correct me if im wrong) is, seeing how the case can flex under stress and mess up the tolerences with the gears and can grenade pretty easily if your pushing some decent power (or beating the piss out of the thing)

Hope that helps... I hate seeing questions going un-answered lol

The stock trans is plenty strong you have nothing to worry about until you are pushing over 250whp. The clutch pedal squeak is somewhat common, my MSP has been doing it for a few months. It is the grease on the clutch fork wearing away and the only way to change it is to pull the trans. There is nothing actually wrong, and clutch chatter is relatively normal on a clutch with a lot of miles.

Yeah I have experienced massive clutch chatter on really cold mornings a few times. I'm switching my clutch out soon so I can put in a fidanza flywheel and a stage 1 exedy and my rear mm ha. My clutch is pretty tired though bc I learned a lot on it its at 81k

It only does it once the car is warmed up. I do plan on putting a stage 1 in it this spring. It just seems kinda weird that after getting my car back from the shop and being told that "it sounds like a bad throwout bearing" that I suddenly hear this weird sound.
