Dear Jayson;

Let's make some tests:

First: Take off the clutch cover & see what's there ie; metal, friction materals, oil (a lot of both)etc.

Second: Check the 'free play' in the clutch pedal (should be 3/4" to 1") for mechanical clutches. A little more is okay, but not over 1 & 1/2"

Third: If you have a hydraulic system, have someone depress the pedal & see if the slave is working & the master is full etc.

Forth: With the parking brake on and the engine ideling; Depress the pedal & see if you can shift into 2nd or 3rd. Should go "right in" either one.

Now if there is a lot of debris in the cover, the clutch is probably toast. The noise(s)you described would indicate this.

But do all the tests & let's see????

Good luck, John M....
