clutch grinding noise

I had a new Enginge put in at 30000 kms. Since then I've noticed on 3 occasions a strange high pitched grinding noise when braking and releasing the clutch at the same time in first gear coming to a hard stop. Any ideas???

Did you check if your engine has a movement? If yes then try this here :

Hi, i did it this way....start your engine, open the bonnet, somebody else press the gas pedal (sorry, i am from Germany) and you look how fare the engine gets in movement. I saw a movement approx. more than 10" !!!!!
Good luck
Ralph
