if the noise goes away in 4th its an input bearing.what was the original issue anyways. kinda sounds like your throwing parts at it instead of diagnosing the issue and fixing the car.

Sounds like it's the transmission. Even in neutral it will rotate the gearing when you let out on the clutch. I'd suggest a tranny rebuild at minimum but it may be cheaper to just replace it, it was for me anyways.
