Q: Truck was making a horrible grinding noise while pushing the clutch in when starting it, now it won't start at all.
For the past two weeks my truck has been making a loud grinding noise when I push the clutch in while starting it, and it usually took several attempts before it actually started. But yesterday morning when go to leave,my truck doesn't start at all. At first it was making the grinding noise it had been making, then it stopped. So now when I turn the key it doesn't make any noise at all. Could it be the throw out bearing?
