I have just had one go on me, so feel in a good position to answer this.
Car - 53 MG ZR 1.4 105bhp.
The car had been sitting for a few months. When i started using it again, i discovered a loud rattling noise when i depressed the clutch pedal. However the clutch was still peforming well.
within about a week of very short emergancy driving only, the noise had developed into a medium level, constant rattle. Increasing in noise with the clutch depressed.
After another couple of weeks, and an essential, longer journey, The noise was quite loud all the time and i could feel vibrations through the pedal.
The other day i tried to use it again, and it died.
I expeirienced a poping sensation through the pedal as i depressed the clutch, accompinied by a rather loud high pitch squeal. I tried to continue for a bit, but found that the biteing point for the clutch had dropped considerably, meaning that the clutch was still riding slightly.
After a couple more corners to get the car back, there was a smell of burning clutch and it had become a bit grindy trying to select a gear.
I done a mechanics college course some years ago, have been tinkering with cars ever scince, and have spoken to a friend in a garage, and everything points to the thrust bearing.
I hope this helps.
