When I attempt to start my car and I have the clutch pressed down...I feel/hear a slight grind on the pedal..any ideas? I know if a starter is loose it can cause a grind like that..but I tighten it every so often, so I know it's not that. Any ideas? Will this damage my motor? Oh yeah...car runs fine after start up.

Car is a 98 Integra LS.
Thanks in advance for any replies!

 

maybe a spring has come out of the clutch disc.. it happend to a buddy of mine

 

Any way to be sure it's that?

 

pull it apart and look

 

no way to check stuff you cant see..
