clutch noise- scraping sound?
Trying to find out what this noise is... as soon as I start do depress the clutch, a constant scratching, scraping noise starts... kind of like a light grinding. It is constant in intensity. Stops as soon as I let off the pedal.
Any idea by this description alone? I don't know if it's the original clutch... car has about 138,000 mi.

Re: clutch noise- scraping sound?
The car had been modtly sitting for a good number of years. When I first got it going the clutch seemed frozen stuck. After a while it did start to engage/ disengage...
OK, so here's a dumber question... is there a clutch fluid reservoir under the hood?

Dayum! I think i have the same issue which i posted on this link: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tran...-shifting.html
I guess its time for a new clutch. Im going to go for a maintenance soon so i can give you a feedback of the result! I have the same issue when switching gears. If i switch too fast then i can hear a scratching, grinding sound. If i do it slowly, i dont hear anything.

What if I have the exact same problem but I've installed everything brand new. I press the pedal and it makes the noise. I let off its normal, clutch works perfectly just loud scraping noise.??
