Hey guys,
I get this groaning noise ONLY when I slowly let go of the clutch on 1st gear/riding the clutch, during slow traffic and sometimes hill starts. The noise comes around the biting point up until the clutch is fully engaged and then it goes away. Otherwise the car feels normal when I take off normally or quickly.
The previous owner of the car recently fitted a new Exedy stage 1 clutch (6 months ago / 5000-6000 kms ago) so I am confident that I won't be replacing the clutch any time soon.
Very similar sound to this:

Is this noise something that I just have to deal with and get used to or should I be worried and get it checked asap?
TIA
