About 1,000 miles / 1 month ago my clutch, two separate times, made a raspy, light grinding noise when the pedal was depressed. It went away each time after a few starts and stops (before I could ever get it to be looked at). Almost sounded like a rock or something was rubbing against the spinning parts. Letting up on the clutch made the sound stop. Tonight I changed oil and found some metal bits in the belly pan, see pic. Ever since car has run fine, no change at all in clutch, driving, noise, etc.
Anyone have any idea what happened, and how serious it is? I am planning on keeping this car, rather than going for the buy back, but if a costly failure is in my future, I may change my mind...
