Noises from clutch?

I've been experienceing noises from the front end for quite a while now..i was told that the reason is worn torque tube bearings..well..i've just replaced torque tube but it's still the same..the noises appear when pressing or releasing clutch and sometimes i have to press-release clutch more than once to get into reverse..
Has anyone had a same problem? Is it the clutch that needs servicing or is it the gearbox itself(although the noise seems to be coming from the front end)?

Sounds like a worn-out throw out bearing.
How loud are bearing noises on the overrun ?
 
Erm..should've said it from the beginning..i'm quite new to all this car thing and don't many "terms"..sorry..
It sounds like something is loose when releasing clutch after changing gear..sometimes it sounds like something's going to fall off in a second..also makes a weird noise(like rubbing) when the cluth is half way released and the car is not really moving yet(if queing uphill for example)..
I hope this info helps..i'm afraid that's the best description i can think of..[8|]
 
You say you need to pump the clutch sometimes? It might be worth bleeding the clutch hydraulic system just in case before you start considering much more costly investigative work.
 
It's only when trying to get into reverse - when releasing the clutch it's not always sitting in all the way - so i need to press clutch once more and retry getting into reverse..
