Q: Clutch noise?

asked by on December 25, 2016

Hello I've got a 2010 Suzuki Swift and the clutch makes a weird noise when released. However once it has been pushed down to just under half way the noise stops. It also gets quieter as the engine gets hotter. What could this be?

My car has 50000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
