Really, if the thrust bearing is worn then you can normally tell by the noise. And it's time for a new clutch assembly.
Well, the bearing is noisy (to be clear, it's not on my new Civic, This is just out of general interest and so I thought other people may like to know).

When the clutch is disengaged whilst in neutral, it makes its typical noise (and when you engage it, it disappears). Dealer said it's fine to keep driving it but I'm a little sceptical on this. And it does drive fine, it's just worrying I suppose.

I will be jacking it up to test. Simple but smart!
