Identifying Transmission/Clutch Noises

-Input shaft bearing is not the same as pilot bearing. There are two bearings that are on the input shaft, one in the E-shaft and the other in the tranny. If you are getting noise with the car in neutral and the pedal disengaged, it is the input shaft bearing which is actually located in the transmission.
-If you push on the pedal to the point where the clutch starts to disengage and it makes noise then it is the throw out/release bearing.
-If you push the pedal all the way to the floor and it makes noise, then it is the pilot bearing.
-It helps to do them in that order as well.
