: Lately, the clutch on my '84 633 has been making a kind of rattling noise whenever I release it.
------------------------------------------------
Generally if the noise goes away when you press on the clutch, it is a bad internal bearing in the tranny, NOT the throwout bearing.

If however, you can make it go quiet by just LIGHTLY pressing on the clutch (not disengaging it), it COULD be the throwout bearing.
