When a throw out bearing is bad, typically it reveals itself when you let out the clutch while in neutral. Then there is a rattle sound, that's a throw out bearing.
Other than badly glazing and/or warping the flywheel, which is not easy to do, you'll get a shudder when you engage the clutch. Perhaps that is what you were thinking of?
Also, when that happens it's more likely a glazed clutch before a flywheel problem. The flywheel is sturdier than the clutch.
