Default clutch noise....

Well, it started a month ago or so. In the morning when i first start it up, pull out of the driveway, and put it in gear, when i release the clutch i hear a schreeche metaly metal to metal noise. it only does it one time, in the morning, and it will not do it the reast of the day. it grabs like crazy, and does not slip at all. all hydrolics are zo6 equipment. any ideas?

Is there a chance the noise is comming from the rear and not the clutch? if so check for rust in the rear outer half shaft splines and tighten the nut where the spline comes thru thr rear hubs

Yep, best to try an isolate where the noise is coming from. Could be a variety of things.
