Can you provide more a detailed description of the grinding noise. For
example, is it a grinding associated with the movement of the clutch release
mechanism or the rotating components? Does it occur as the pedal is depressed
and
released and is it present with the engine running and stopped? Or is it
constant with the clutch pepressed but onely with the engine running?
