Throwout bearing?? When pressing on the clutch pedal, make a scraping metal sound, like it is skipping , (not solid straight sound) skipping. Goes in gear fine, runs fine in gear, just the noise -only while pressing the clutch, about 1/2 to 3/4 the way in. And, will it be a problem to fix at home??

Does your car have a manual transmission?
If so it could possibly be your throwout bearing.
That can usually be checked by slightly pressing on the clutch pedal. If the sound goes away then it is definitely your throwout bearing

when the foot is free of the clutch , sometimes a tinny rattle that comes and goes ( harmonic vibration)
if the foot is resred on the clutch that tinny noise will go or if pressed ******* the clutch a grumble ( possible vibration under the foot) will sound while the clutch pedal is being pressed
may be heard from inside the car but will be heard at idle with the bonnet up

Hi Gert:
Sounds as if the throwout bearing / throwout lever has failed.
This will require some mechanical abilities to isolate the problem and do the repairs.
Hope it goes well.

Bearing gone in trans or a tooth missing off the cluster.

transmission has to be removed to in stall a new throw out bearing but sounds like the clutch is not releasing if grinding to shift is pedal solid or spongy

Sounds like bearings in the transmission does this noise differ depending on the amount of applied pressure to the clutch pedal if so it may be your throw out bearing worn hitting against your pressure plate. Check your throwout bearing first.

Sounds like the throwout bearing may be the wrong one. Did you check the old one with the new one before installing it?

Sounds like the throwout bearing is going bad. Which is telling you that it might be time for a new clutch kit in your vehicle

it is the throw out bearing and if you go through that,you may as well replace the clutch,which must be removed to replace the bearing anyway.the clutch comes with a new bearing.
