Question Time to replace clutch/fly???help..

Starting today, my car has been acting weird...you can hear it in the video. it started making rattling/breaking sound under the car. I'm assuming that it's coming from the clutch/flywheels.

- when car is stopped, i can hear it a little bit
- when i put it in first gear, and let the clutch go slowly, i don't hear it very loud. ( without pushin accelerator )
- when i let my clutch go and push the accelerator, it starts making a loud noise...

please help guys....is it time to replace my clutch/flywheels? or something else?

* Uploading video *

Edit: somehow i can not upload the video here, so here is link!!!

throw out bearing....common issue, but its only going to get worse and you run the risk of damaging the bearing altogether (not good!)

you can change just the bearing, transmission has to come out though - good time to upgrade the clutch and flywheel though if your budget allows for it

actually just re-read your description

with the car running, does the noise change when you push the clutch pedal in vs let it out (car does not have to be in gear, just running)?

even not in gear, i hear very little bit, i couldn't even catch from camera. But when it is in gear and press gas, ( when i let the clutch slowly) it gets really loud...But i can pretty much tell it's from clutch/flywheel..because i drove it really hard after installed the exhaust system..( damm ur HFC )

One more question, if not replace throw out bearing and just driving for 2~3 weeks. what worst scenario can happen? I don't know, if it will be ok to do after winter.

As request PM:
Just tapping gas pedal ( without clutch in) it making a noise under 1500k rpms also.
