    Grinding noise + engine stumbles on acceleration

    My engine noise is unlikely to be a throw out bearing if what you wrote are the symptoms for the throw out bearing. My grinding noise is incredibly loud in all gears and it does not stop when I press the clutch. The noise occurs both when idling and driving, I thought about it being the...
