Throwout Bearing on 6-Speed

Just bought my '08 4x4 with the manual tranny. It's a job#3. The dealer transferred it from a state away so it showed up with 300 miles on it. It's my first diesel, so I couldn't tell one rattle from another from the very beginning, but now I notice that most times when you pull up and stop, there is an extra rattle. It goes away when you press the clutch in and comes back about 50% of the time when you let the clutch out again.
I have been babying the thing. It only has 500 miles on it now. Supposedly the guy that drove it up is an older fellow (semi-retired service manager) that doesn't beat on stuff. It was sourced from a dealer in a record blizzard area so they probably didn't beat on it.
Anyone heard of this issue? Just a fluke or flaw in the build process?
