Default Noise when pulling in clutch
Every now and again when I pull the clutch it'll make a slight grinding noise.
It only happens for a second.
It's only done it 4 or 5 times in the last 1000 miles or so.
I'm not running it hard when it happens either.
Any ideas before I start investigating.

That doesn’t sound normal. If it’s still in warranty, have the dealer check it out.

It does it so infrequently that I doubt they'll hear it.
Otherwise I would have already took it in.

If it's a light rattle, it's likely the pressure plate ratting. I wouldn't worry about it.. The pressure plate needs some clearance because of the slip/assist feature.
