my car is making a grinding noise when I let go of the gas when it is in 1st and 2nd gear. Is this a sign of a bad clutch about to die?? ---

It is probably your clutch you are hearing. Subconciously when ur letting go of the gas you dont realize but you are letting go of the clutch as well?? I duno, but in idle, press the clutch and release it, see if you hear the noise. If you do hear a noise then its probably your throwout bearing, mine is gone too. ---

It doesnt make any sound when In neutral. It feels like theres something rubbing when I ease off the gas pedal(1st&2nd gear only). I dont hear it when I depress the clutch pedal.
