Yea! It does sound like you throw out bearing is going. I just changed out mine a few months ago on my 65 Chevy pick up and it made the same sound. Do yourself a favor. Just do a complete clutch job while you have it apart.

or It could be an actual broke/cracked disk, loose spring, or anything else in there. all in all it comes down to needing to replace the clutch. $150 in parts and a few hours in the garage if you know what you are doing.

I did a clutch kit on it a few months ago and the only part I did not replace was the throw out bearing
