grinding noise

[HATCHY]

Hey I have an 87 std hatch. and I noticed that when the car was cold, and I start it up, It makes a grinding noise. I thought it was the throw out bearing because it goes away if I hold the clutch in, but when I release the clutch it starts again, and It only does this until it warm up then nothing. So I pulled the motor and tranny and put in a new rebuilt tranny just to be safe because my old one was hard sticky shift. So i bought a new tranny and a throw out bearing, The clutch has lke 50 percent left on it. ( io forgot to mention that the clutch slips bad too. so I replaced everything throwout and ttranny. And what do you know right when I started it up It started again, Anyone know what this is??????? I need to drive my soob gas is so expensive lol

Did you replace the pilot bearing as well? The one that is in the center of the flywheel?

Also... where does one get a new/rebuilt tranny - I called CSR the other day and they are no longer doing transmissions....
