Difficult given you describe the noise as coming from the front then go on to talk about the clutch/release bearing or driveshafts which are all at the rear of the vehicle.
I think we need a little more accuracy in your description....sorry.

Perhaps you should sit in the back while it's being driven to be more accurate
