Default Faint Flutter when Clutch Engaged

I've got a really really faint flutter noise coming from what sounds like the left side of the car. I can only hear it with the top up, radio and A/C off and below 40ish due to road noise, but I am certain it wasn't there a month or so ago. I can only hear it while moving and only when the clutch is engaged, the second I clutch in it disappears. Any ideas on what it could be?

I have this EXACT problem! sounds sort of like loose rockers but only when driving. Sitting in the driveway revving or revving while rolling doesnt reproduce the noise.

Let me know if you figure it out!

I don't notice it all unless I'm moving with the clutch engaged, not at idle at all. I'm thinking it had to have something to do with the clutch, but no idea what since mine grabs fine and I've never felt any slip.

I think I have that issue. I assumed it's clutch chatter. Been doing it for 3+ years.

Ive yet to feel mine slip. if it helps anyone the car is a 00' and has 80,000 miles on it. As far as i know its the original clutch.

Make sure you have some freeplay in the clutch rod, if it is too tight you will have it pressing on the throwout bearing with the pedal released. If it isn't that then your throwout bearing maybe starting to wear.

Is there anyway to confirm it to be the throwout bearing?
