It is not the thrust bearing as the noise would be there when you depress the clutch,it will be the counter shaft bearing in the gearbox as the input
shaft is spinning when the cluth is released and stops when you depress the pedal.These can be replaced without a complete dismantle but it means
pulling the box out and a few special tools and knowledge,the preferable way is to dismantle the box.
