Grinding (Not Clunking) When Engaging Clutch From A Stop

[vinny89gt]

I went for a drive this morning and noticed a wierd noise as I engage the clutch and begin to move in first gear.

It's a slight grinding noise that goes away almost as soon as the car has begun moving. It's definitely not the clunk I hear when going from 1-2 sometimes (which from many searches on here is very normal).

Any idea what this is?

Everything within the transmission is stock.

After searching, it seems like a bad TOB is something you can hear all the time especially with the clutch disengaged.

This sound is only heard when I'm in first beginning to move and engaging the clutch. Like I said, it immediately goes away as I begin to move (3-4MPH).

is the clutch really close to the floor before you start to feel the cable pulling? If so you may not be pushing it in enough to get it fully into neutral before trying to shift gears~

Looks like it's time to check out the TOB.
