Anybody know what this could be?
Based on this description it sounds like a problem that happens just at the point where the friction material engages the flywheel - so think in terms of worn, contaminated or glazed clutch disc ... I've even heard of worn motor mounts causing unnatural noise from the clutch, but I have no idea how that might work.
