Grinding noise when shifting
 
When I engage into first, and sometimes second, right when the car starts to "grab" (where I start moving right afterwards), I hear a grinding noise, until I move my feet a bit so that the shifting is different. Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, it's hard to explain. Anyone have an idea what's wrong? I'm guessing my clutch is starting to slip. If it is, any idea how much it would cost to get it fixed? I'd do it myself but I'm clueless as to how. Thanks.

sounds like time for a new clutch buddy

sounds like a worn out clutch to me.

Is it clutch chatter? Like it skips a little instead of grabbing? Either the clutch is wearing out, or your flywheel needs resurfacing if so...

Yeah, I'm guessing a new clutch is needed. Heard they're expensive though. Or maybe it's just expensive having someone do it.

A nice ACT will run you around $320 shipped, and the install could be over $300...

I'd get a mechanic's or someone else's opinion before you dump money on a clutch though.

Thanks for all of the help and advice!
