Canadian. Kind of wish I were Canadian.
There was a Primary last night, and one of my neighbors won. (I voted for him.) Odds are really good that he'll be going to Washington after November's election to serve in Congress. One of my neighbors... seriously, he lives right down the street from me. Very humble household, very pleasant guy.
That's pretty damn cool.

Hey Guys. I'm moving my company office closer to my house in July so I've been going through my warehouse and have a bunch of sedan parts for sale. If you 're interested I have these parts are listed for sale at the below link. Keep checking back though as I seem to be finding more parts every hour. LOL

And now that I'm attuned to it, I'm hearing the bearing chatter (if that's what it is) all the time when I'm in a position to listen. Like in the garage, or next to another car in a parking lot.
Yep. This is going to drive me freaking nuts. I can feel it burrowing under my skin, making me cringe just thinking about it.

Planning on getting a mechanic's analysis on this problem next month.
Pretty sure the situation describes a failing input shaft bearing, not the throw-out bearing. Either way, pretty disappointing for a transmission with only 39k miles on it.

I understand replacing the two bearings, but why replace the clutch and flywheel if it's just the bearings that are going? These are not parts I want to upgrade. Driven a few cars with aftermarket clutch/flywheel mods, and I genuinely don't want this. It certainly makes the car more aggressive and is a performance mod, but it's also freaking brutal, and I don't like it.

In the context of unexpected repair bills... $1000 sucks big time.

I've always been under the impression the 6MT was the weakest link in our cars, which was a determining factor in opting for the extended warranty.
Sucks, I wonder though, considering how little you drive, if you can just ride this out until it completely fails.

Anyway... in July I'm going to have my mechanic flush & fill coolant, brake and clutch fluid. While there and on the lift, I'll have him assess this problem. The more research I do on the symptoms, the more convinced I am that it's the input shaft bearing, and that's something that could be like this for years before becoming a serious problem, if ever.
In the meantime, the conversation with my wife will be awkward.
"You said you wouldn't spend money on the car this year."
But this is a repair.
"Why would this be broken with so few miles?"
Because it is.
"Why repair something on a car you barely drive?"
Because it's broken.
"Why do you even own this car?"
Good question.
This here, at the 20 sec mark, although in my case the chatter is much, much quieter than this racket, but essentially the same situation. Input shaft bearing.

Sigh.
Again, yes. Exactly. The next 8 years will be filled with college expenses, and there will come a time, quickly, where the car will start looking like a money pit.

I would think parts alone would be close to $1K.

Added a couple more words for your responses
In the meantime, the conversation with my wife will be awkward.
"You said you wouldn't spend money on the car this year."
But this is a repair.
"Why would this be broken with so few miles?"
Because it is 9 yrs old and things wear out.
"Why repair something on a car you barely drive?"
Because it's broken. And it is cheaper than recurring car payments.
"Why do you even own this car?"
Good question. ... because we don’t have payments left
