Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
While I can't speak to your clutch problem, for the brake sound, check the backing plate that attaches to the wheel carrier.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Clutch was going out, and now is out after a harder than usual drive home (I guess the discussion I was having about politics worked me up a little), and/or it sounds like a brake is dragging or grinding when going slow, so not sure what that's about or if it's clutch related.
Going to be an expensive spring!
While I can't speak to your clutch problem, for the brake sound, check the backing plate that attaches to the wheel carrier. It's not uncommon to get a small rock/pebble stuck between the plate and the rotor. Also, it's not uncommon for the plate to get bent and rub against the rotor (it's very light sheet metal). Good luck
Yeah, I guess it boils down to me being more of a libertarian, although liberal, but I was leaning more on the other side of things...
Next time I will just change the subject and talk about how cute she is and or how cute our cats are. =)
