The past couple of times I have started the FD, I get an angry grind right as the motor catches and starts. The sound is like turning the key with the motor running. Is there a clutch that should be disengaging that is not? If I am very careful to release the key as SOON as the motor fires, there is no problem, but it never did this before. So what broke?
