1999 150k miles five speed clutch making noise help!

Hi there everyone. I got what sounds like a tin can rattling around in the bellhousing area. When I push clutch in it goes away and today it started making noise when you release the clutch slowly kinda a sqeeling. Is this the Throwout bearing you think? If so how hard of a job is it and how much for new throwout bearing? All aspects of the trans are perfect no clutch slipping, shifts great and easy. Thanks CD

Sounds like bearing, clutch cover, clutch disc, or bearing support broken. These failure are self evident upon separating the transmissin from the engine.
Upon inspection a decision if you want to put it back together without completelly replacing the disc, cover and bearing. With the milage I'm sure all components are showing wear.

Time for a new clutch kit. Previous truck I waited too long and the clutch came apart and took out the bell housing with it.

IDK, but I'd rather spend the money on something better like a southbend.
