After hard acceleration / holding car in the same gear for a while, the next time I depress the clutch pedal it feels like something is 'grating'?

In normal driving the pedal is as you would expect, though pedal moves down the first inch of travel with very little resistance. clutch was changed 10k ago, no judder at all.

Any ideas?

Not sure whether changed or not, I'll check with the garage, any other ideas?

Mine does this too, it's ok when cold but grates a little when warm.
I assume it is the release bearing as I have tried everthing else.
Let me know if you sort it.

I have the same problem, the clutch pedal feels as if its been tighen up like a spring, then makes a click/grating noise. I also have slight clutch judder from cold, but OK when warmed up There also seems to be not much free pedal movement before the clutch bites in. Is it a "take to the Garage job" only got 20k miles on the clock
