Sounds like your starter gear grinding on your flywheel teeth. That happens if the gear gets worn or your flywheel breaks a tooth off. I don't see what that has to do with your clutch slipping though, unless you got a major problem... uh oh... you may wanna figure out whats wrong with it before it costs any more $$ than its already gonna</P>
