Grinding when clutch is disengaged...(not "gear grinding")..tranny experts

When i press the clutch the sound goes away, but when i release, the sound makes a slight grinding/rubbing noise. The RPMS will go lower and lower if I do this over and over until they stay at around 1000 rpms or so.

I was thinking this was the tranny idler gear? anyone else with input?

If it was the throw-out bearing, it would make the noise with the clutch pedal pushed in (with the clutch dis-engaged). It could be any of the bearings down there; check your pilot bearing first, and if necessary, crack the tranny open to check things out in there.
