My car has only covered 6000 miles and I bought it new.After the car has been sitting
for say 5 or 6 hours,when pulling away in 1st gear with say a 2000rpm I get this sort of
rubbing or whooshing noise and occasionally a sort of grinding noise as I raise the clutch pedal and it starts to bite. If I then press the pedal to the floor it goes
away and then comes back as the clutch engages and then disappears as clutch is fully
engaged.It will not repeat again using 1st for the remainder of my journey.If I then leave
the car say overnight it will repeat in the morning on engaging 1st.The dealer cannot
duplicate the problem.I have noticed that if rpm is kept to an "absolute minimum" it almost
eliminates the rubbing noise.
NOTE; Clutch operation is normal in all gears after initial 1st gear engagement.
Parking Brake released during this problem
