Recently there's been a lot of chatter around my engine bay and inside of the cabin. After a long drive, the chatter comes back and my buddy told me it could be the throw out bearing. So I dip my clutch whenever I hear it and it goes away until I release again. Its very feint but still a concern. Is there anyone else that had this problem??? Please help!

A throw out bearing would make a grinding noise when you depress the clutch pedal. Not when it is released..... So basially your clutch is chattering a little bit, which means your flywheel and clutch when making contact makes some noise.

Your clutch is starting to go out. Not the throw out bearing. I wouldn't be overly concerned unless your clutch sticks to the flywheel after you release it to shift or when it is fully engaged your revs jump when you give it gas. That is a good indication if you need to change the clutch. These cars have a good amount of chatter at idle with the clutch engaged.

Clutch chatter is normal on these cars. I've had it from day 1 and so have all my buddies.

Ohhh man thank god! Luckily, I replaced my clutch at 35k so hopefully I still have a lot of meat left
