Before asking my question, I should say that I just drove 3000 uneventful
miles during the last two weeks, so my '87 camper is doing well in
general.

Meanwhile, however, I've noticed a grinding/gurgling sound (coming from
the rear somewhere) when releasing the clutch pedal.  The sound is not
audible when the pedal is completely depressed, but as I start to lift my
foot in either first gear or reverse, the grinding/gurgling begins.  The
sound diminishes as I raise my foot, and it seems to be gone once my foot
is off of the pedal.  The sound could be happening in other gears, but if
this is the case, the engine noise prevents me from detecting any
grinding.  Do any of you have any ideas what this sound might be?

The clutch was replaced 10,000 miles ago, and I'm a gentle driver.  The
transmission has not been serviced for at least four years.  It should
also be noted that other than the sound, I'm experiencing NO
shifting/driving/running problems.

Please let me know if any other information would be useful, and thank
you all, in advance, for your assistance.
