Hi, James.
Bad news if this is the reason -- dropped thrust washer? That would
be my first (and easiest) check. Of course, if this is the trouble,
you've caught it before doing any real damage, though it's probably a
right pain to rectify anyway.
Then if that is OK, launch into the box and clutch.
HTH,
Donald.
