Default Clutch growling noise

I got a question about a clutch noise. I was trying to sell my 01 TA 6 speed with a recent spec stage 3 clutch. The clutch has less than 17,000 miles on it. It just started making what I would call a growling noise from the clutch/tranny. It only happens when the clutch is down. It happens in neutral also, but the noise sounds worse when going into gear. It is really unfortunate that this just started when I was trying to sell it. I did not want to have to put more money into this car. I would like to know what the problem could be before taking it apart. It drives fine just makes that horrible noise when clutch is down. Once I let it up it's fine

Sounds like a pilot bearing or release bearing.

Most likely a pilot related issue as a release bearing will not typically make noise when the pedal is depressed. Let me know if you have any further questions.
