I doubt it... when a pully siezes its very obvious... Is your car on its origional clutch? I had a similar "problem" I later found out it was a wearing out Throw out bearing. It still had about 10K miles on it (which my trusted mechanic quoted me) but it made a rattleing noise, usualy on take off from first gear and if you just let the car idle completely in neutral, it was especially apperant when you went through drive throughs, went right away as soon as you would take off in 1st.
