Clutch issues: sounds like playing cards in bike spokes when pressed in

[Woods74]

Hey all, maybe some one can chime in on this one, this started today. Turn your speakers down.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I'd be under there finding a way to visually inspect

Usually fingers hitting the disc, or something fork/ TO/ finger(s) cracked/ broke, or maybe a chuck of lining came off and got jammed in the clutch PP

Nothing pulling the trans won't fix. That's your only option with a noise like that.

I can't seem to get the video to work. Probably my phone. What you are describing sounds to me like a throw out bearing starting to fail. Does the clutch operate well? Can you feel it in the pedal?

Clutch operates well, and yeah, I can feel it in the pedal.

It's not a big deal, if the clutch goes out the owner and I will tear into it and get it fixed. It's a used commuter car, so he's prepared for a clutch, it's probably never been changed, 154k on the clock. If it persists over the next few days I'll drop the inspection plate and see what I can see.
