I agree also, but would warn that if you don't hear a noise, it doesn't
mean your throwout bearing _isn't_ worn out. I didn't hear any noise, but
did experience the rpm-drop you talked about when the clutch was depressed.
When I replaced the clutch (had a bad case of judder from oil leaking
through the engine rear main seal), I found that the carbon on the release
bearing was totally gone, as well as about half of the metal part of the
bearing! All without a peep when the clutch was depressed. After seeing
the release bearing, I was surprised the rpm's didn't drop more than they
did.
