Morning all
Since new, my TA Cross has made a strange grinding noise when pulling away in 1st, or reversing slowly, or changing down from 3rd to 2nd when the engine isn’t properly warmed up. Seems to be when the clutch is engaging (biting point). Once the engine has warmed up it stops. My dealer told me it is the flywheel with surface rust on it and will bed in after 1000 miles or so. About 1700 miles now and still doing it. Interestingly, I was parked next to an older TA Lounge a few weeks ago and I could hear it making exactly the same noise, presumably with more miles on it than mine. Hopefully my description will sound familiar to someone - is this normal?
TIA
Jason
