Blade isnt sticking, I removed the TB a while back and cleaned it, because I had a surging idle issue (still do, but its down on the list of fixes).
The problem really only became noticeable in conjuction with the throw out bearing whine, which turns into a nasty grinding sound if the idle issue happens at a red light and the rpms drop below 600 then shoot back up to 1200.
So basically, my problems started with an odd idle, which occasionally happens. Sometimes it will idle like a purring kitten for 5-10 minutes, and sometimes it will lope from 500-1500 rpm's, each progressive lope getting more extreme. (so like 800-1100, next one 700-1200, etc.)
The grind recently developed, as did the throw out bearing whine. The clutch also has seen its final days.
The only other posibility is that because I changed to the march alternator bracket, put on the ac delete kit, and have the lightweight flex fan, that I am just hearing the spin of the fan now that I can climb rpm's faster, and am able to hear things a bit better.
The grind/rev/idle thing is my biggest overall concern though. Right before I parked her for the winter to do some other work, and save some money for a house, when I'd put her into reverse, I'd also get a nasty squeel of protest from the clutch area.
As a side note, the throttle cable appears to have no binds and operates smoothly.
