Re: clutch problems

 I'm new to the group so forgive me if you've been down this path before, but
the symptoms you describe sound like a failing throwout bearing. When the
bearing goes south and the balls begin disintegrating it becomes increasingly
difficult to engage gears. It then starts to make an awful grinding noise that
gets rapidly worse and worse. Take note that there are some terribly cheap
release bearings out there that won't last very long.
