lol yea the bearing was goin to be my guess, sry i couldnt help, im interested in what it could be... are you the original owner? is there any maintnance history? i got lucky on mine the previus owner kept everything... i dont know much about autos and just barely learning about manuals... if it was manual i would of guessed a spring in the clutch fell out maybe? is there something simular to that in autos?
