Grinding noise when clutch engaged

[Shaz huss]

Hi, 

 

I have a 2007 Honda Civic type S 1.8. 

 

When the car is started I can hear a grinding type noise, but when I press the clutch down the noise goes away. 

 

Also when driving the grinding  noise is there. 

 

I had the clutch bearing replaced (there where three parts of the clutch changed but I don't know the names of them parts) 

 

Does anyone know what the issue could be?

Hi.....welcome to the Forum

 

Not sure if you have resolved this issue yet?

Sounds like the clutch release bearing running against the clutch cover. In the worse case scenario the bearing can drill through the clutch cover.

You must ensure that you are not resting your foot on the clutch pedal when driving as the working clearance is taken up and the release bearing is then running at engine speed constantly which it is not designed to do.

Usually the noise disappears when you depress the clutch pedal and this is then usually a sign that the release bearing is worn.
