Clutch sounding like metal on metal!

[Glanza Mac]

parked my glazna on my drive and it was all fine and dandy

about half hour later i went to reverse from my drive, put the clutch down and a horrible squeeling/scraping sounds appeared so i came of the clutch pedal and the noise went away :S

put the car in reverse pretty quickly and reversed and drove up my street, the car moves fine but it only makes that noise when the clutch is being pressed down.

anyone know what this could be?

ive heard its a release bearing thats failed and also the flywheel/crank bearing that has failed?

Sound like the release bearing to me. bang a new clutch in while your at it save you pullong the box off again

how positive do you think its that because i will go buy one asap ?

[james@cjperformance]

Sit in thd car with it on idle and in neutral. is the noise present? If yes push the clutch pedal down. does the noise go away of yes the im 99% sure its the release bearing

I had the same noise in my first ever car (106) and i drove that for 5/6 months fine.

Obviously get a new clutch kit with all new bearings and fit it to get rid of the noise.

Can be relaese bearing like mentioned..but you get the same symptoms when it pops springs out to..
