My car is making a grinding noise when reversing using clutch?
I drive a 2008 1.6 ford fiesta. It is a new car for me so I'm not completely used to driving it and the clutch bite is a lot higher than in my old car which is taking a while to get used to + in my old car (vauxhall corsa c) the reverse was a push up then to the left of 1st gear. In the new car it is to the right of 4th gear (where 6th gear would be).
The problem is I park in my driveway/carpark which has an uneven surface and stones and when I reverse I sometimes only use the clutch and every so often it will make a crunch noise when i'm releasing the clutch? It sounds like I haven't put it in gear properly but it still moves?
Is it because i'm not releasing it enough and its a uneven surface? Or do I need to use the accelerator all the time on an uneven surface? Because it doesn't happen if I use the accelerator at the same time?
Or is the clutch going?
Or have I not put it in gear properly?
Don't know exactly but here's an idea… Let someone else drive it. See if it does it with them driving it.
- My 2008 ford ranger Truck is making a Grinding noise when clutch is engaged/press. What are my options? I attach a youtube video of a different car making the same sound. Is my only option to replace the clutch or can it be adjusted? If anybody could link a repair manual to a 2008 ford ranger that would be awesome. I tried google and torrent sites but had no luck

- Car Made A Grinding Noise, Won't Work? I drive a 2005 Ford Focus. When I got in my car and turned the ignition, it made a loud screeching noise. I was able to idle a little, but eventually, it stopped altogether. There's some fluid on the ground and it is below freezing out. Any ideas?
- Grinding noise when coming to a complete stop? I have a 1999 ford f150 XLT. My brakes were pretty bad and warped, and they started making a grinding noise when i come to a complete stop. Not when i'm braking from 10mph or more. So i replaced all 4 rotors and pads. But the problem still continues! Could it be the front calipers? The brake pedal does push back when the grinding noise happens.
