Do I need a new clutch? When I first got the car it only would make a strange grinding noise when releasing the clutch rarely. Now it happens daily, also when the car is idling there is a weird loose metal sounds. If the tap the gas when in neutral the metal sound gets faster. Im thinking that I will need a new clutch and maybe throw out bearing.
Any help would be appreciated. The car has 132,000 miles

if you don't know the history/age of the existing clutch...may want to put a new one in along with TO and pilot bearing (typically all come in clutch kit)
what you have to go through to replace a TO bearing...big job so unless the clutch is pristine when you take it out, replace it
resurface the FW also

If the clutch has quite a bit of mileage like you say then I would go ahead and replace the clutch while you are doing the slave/throwout bearing. We have monster kits available with your choice of slave/throwout bearing. Monster levels 1 and 2 retain stock pedal feel, and when you want to have some spirited driving their there to hold up!!!
