Default My clutch is growling...

Lately, when I accelerate from a stop and I let the clutch out in anyway but the most gentle, it growls at me. Time for a clutch job?

I thought it might be my stomach, but it did it after lunch also...

It could be your throwout bearing going south. That's what happened to me...

I've got strange noises coming from my drivetrain as well. When I lift to start slowing down, I hear a mechanical (almost grinding noise) that sounds like it is coming from underneath the shifter. The clutch engages fine, doesn't slip and it shifts smoothly. This started last weekend when I was accelerating in 4th gear on the interstate. I went to shift to 5th and the shifter would not go into any gear. Pushed the clutch in and out and it went back into 4th, then I could find 5th. Hasn't done this since, but now I have the noise under deceleration. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
