when you say in and out are you refering to the clutch or the pedal ? if the noise is when the pedal is down i.e. clutch disengaged ( out )it is most probably a siezed release bearing or possibly spigot bearing. if the clutch is really bad it could even be rivets running on steel on the flywheel or pressure plate. if the noise is when the pedal is up i.e clutch engaged ( IN ) the noise is probably not from the clutch mechanism, in that situation the clutch is just along for the ride.

It would be the throwout bearing. It can happen on anything.

Or maybe there's a possum trapped between the fork and crossmember, and pressing the clutch puts the squeeze on him. :finger:
The worst part about being told you have Alzheimer's, is that it doesn't just happen once.
