clutch problem? or what?!?

[PDXACCORD]

I have this problem: sometimes when in long term stop and go situations, as i let out the clutch, revs at like 1-2k, I will get this grinding, gravel like sound as the clutch ingauges. it is only a sound, w/o any jerking, slipping etc. but it is a loud sound that can be heard over my intake, exuaust, stereo etc. I took it to AAMCO and they couldnt get it to reproduce the sound. (im guessing they never took it out for long periods of stop and go traffic) they said my clutch was fine and my tranny seems fine. WTF is this sound and should i be worried!? any help is greatly appreciated

well if it grinds when your shifting then you probably have a bad syncro. mine grinded in 3rd and im getting it rebuilt now. i have to replace 3rd gear, 3rd and 4th syncros and all the brass rings...$$$! well hope you find out whats wrong!

thats a $1000 job right there tops synchros suck ass when the tranny is used

um... yeah

no its not when im shifting, just when im letting out the clutch in first gear (any gear i suppose) from a stop. its only as it engauges. And as I said, in stop and go traffic (usually) after a short 10+min drive like from the burbs into the city. and only sometimes... its weird. thnks for input

Perhaps the clutch isn't centered correclty? I have no idea how that could possibly happen...but that's really the only thing I can think of and I'm about %0.01 sure thats the problem
