My clutch pedal has slowly got to the point where it grabs at the very bottom. If I use it for a few minutes going back and forth pushing brush it gets to the point where it wants to grind going in gear. I have tried adjusting the clutch but then you can hear the throw out bearing or something making a light grinding noise when the clutch is pushed in. Clutch holds and grabs fine. Has never slipped. In to high of gear taking off from a dead stop it is slow to grab and get going but from past experience that seems normal. Any pointers on a clutch brand or any ideas I can try before I break it in half?

Is there any kind of inspection port you can access? Sounds like a linkage or throwout issue more than friction.
