If it's happening when pressing on or releasing the pedal, it's the throw out bearing. Some of the cheap ones that come with kits really suck. That's why I always suggest oem when it comes to these types of bearings. Sadly, you have to pull the transmission to replace it.
Clutch noise
Hello again my friends,
I have a noise coming from the clutch in first gear and reverse (MT). It starts when the car begins to move and it goes away after the full relise of the pedal. In the rest of the gears it doesn’t to it, only from stand still leave. The previous owner told me that he changed the clutch recently (that was 5 months ago when I bought the car. I’ll try to record the sound and attach it. So the previous owner lied to me or he used cheap parts.... i’ve done around 6.000 km since i bought the cr-z and i’m not such a bad driver to destroy a clutch that quickly
)
i made a video here (it’s uploaded on my youtube channel, I couldn’t find another way)

Sounds easy but the gearbox need be dropped to fix it. Today finally I've managed to make a video how does it sound in my CR-Z. Seriously...I've tried maybe twenty times to record it and every time it didn't appear and when I stopped filming it did. So I used a hidden camera
Yes, that’s the same noise i have. I was planning to live with it until I change the clutch but you got me curious with that bearing bushing. I will try to grease it next weekendSounds easy but the gearbox need be dropped to fix it. Today finally I've managed to make a video how does it sound in my CR-Z.

Quick update. In my case the noise is gone after doing 500-mile trip. Before I drove mostly short trips and after driving for a bit longer it finally disappeared
This is the same issue I have, almost only when it's cold or I'm reversing into a spot. Did you end up resolving this sound?Sounds easy but the gearbox need be dropped to fix it.

Damn ! It is EXACTLY this.Sounds easy but the gearbox need be dropped to fix it. Today finally I've managed to make a video how does it sound in my CR-Z.

But it is never regular. Like 1 on 10 times, and occur a lot more after 30min of driving.
Always on a standstill when depressing in 1st, and ESPECIALLY if Gearbox-Engine RPM gap is important. If I give a good rev to climb a bump or if I'm a bit high in the revs and releasing slooowly (2500rpm start).
Very hard to capture on video, I've yet to capture it.
For people having this issue for a "long time", does it get worse ? No other issue than this strange metal rumbling ?
I may be able to live with it, but if it damaging stuff in the gearbox like main shaft, it could be a lot smarter to replace the clutch and the few bearing at the same time.
But if its stuff like clutch spring its not an "issue"
