Little background info, car is a 96 SS with about 80k on it. I've had it for about a year and 9k miles. The clutch was supposedly replaced a year before I purchased it or 2 years ago.

Since I've had the car, it has made some rattling noise every now again when taking off from a stop at a low speed, but from reading here I've found out its most likely the throwout bearing and isn't a big deal at all.

Fast forward to a few days ago, now when taking off at low speeds, when the clutch is about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up before shifting into second, there is a grinding type noise that always occurs at the same spot relative to clutch position and I can feel it in the clutch pedal. If you just lift the clutch pedal up faster then usual you will not hear a thing and it doesn't do it in any other gear.

 

Hmmm, that could be your throwout bearing, too. If the clutch isn't slipping at all, it should be ok.

Someone help please
