Yes it sounds like the same problem. Buy pilot bearings they cost 3 bucks.

It is also possible that you lost a pressure plate bolt, though if you didn't pull the clutch then I doubt it. I've been stuck under the car before puling the starter to get a bolt out that was wedged in the flywheel ring gear. Not fun.

My transmission makes the same noise, i replaced the clutch, pilot bearing and throw out bearing but it still makes the same noise and when i push the clutch in it stops. Some one told me its the bearings inside the transmission going bad and I think theyre right because i get some weird vibration in 5th gear that I dont get in any other gears.
