There WAS a fix for a noise like this that involved drilling a small 
hole in the bell housing and with a long spray wand, spraying in 
some moly disulfide dry lubricant on the throwout ring. I've never 
done this, and of course it only helps if that's where the noise is 
coming from.
 
I THINK this is covered in the Bentley manual.
