Hey guys,
I have a vs ecotec that I did a getrag manual conversion on a few months back, I installed a brand new clutch kit with solid flywheel, got it going all good then about 500 or so kms later, I started to get a grinding sound every now and then on the grab point of the clutch when I'd go to engage it from a stop.
Now I've done around 5000km since being manual and the clutch area makes a bad grinding sound basically every time I engage the clutch moving or not still only on the grab point of the clutch, if I disengage the clutch while rolling, weather or not I'm in gear and rev the car above 3k rpm, there are also now quick grinding sounds that happen if I keep the revs held up there.
There is no sound when the clutch is fully engaged at any rpm and no sound when the clutch is disengaged and the revs are below 3k.
I have no idea what this could be but I'm mostly leaning towards throwout bearing, if anyone else has had this issue please let me know.
