2001 makes noise when clutch is not engaged

[Adolfoj]

My 2001 has been making this "shimmying" noise when the clutch is not engaged....engine is running ----sounds like it could be a bearing....took it in to 1 shop and was told keep checking it ...it may need a new clutch in the next 4-5k....I called the Honda dealership and they want $120 just to diagnose....it only has 38k on it....any ideas???

I can tell you exactly what it is. It is the clutch Throw out bearing that needs to be replaced. I've had so many run ins with these on numerous honda's. Low and High mileage ones! :T
