Re: Timing belt rubbing the tensioner
Would there be other signs of clutch failure? Also, after driving it yesterday and paying more attention to it, I did notice it seems to get more noticeable as the car warms up. While first driving it when it's cold it's barely there. It also is not a continuous sound, it cuts off and on (you really have to be listening to tell). Maybe I'll try to record it.

Another symptom is you will feel the clutch slipping as you drive.
