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.

Sometimes (maybe every other week) when i an about half way off the clutch in first, the car will make a strange rubbing/scratching sound for a small range of the clutch engaging. It goes away when i turn off the car and leave it for a while.... The clutch otherwise seems just fine. Its a stock '03 C4S and the car has about 30k miles. Any idea what it could be?
anybody?
Maybe a creaking sound? If so, clutch booster spring or clutch linkages. Mine does it, a lot of others too, apparently.
