See above.
Well, if it is the same problem as what I had, and it sounds like it
(unfortunately) is, then it could be the spring disc bit(sorry for the crap
description) in the pressure plate that is cracked, the bit that the
release(throw out) bearing presses against. I've had 2 crack(could it be my
driving style???). The only way to find out is to get the 'box out again, and
remove and examine the pressure plate. :-(
Good Luck
