This is why this forum is invaluable. I have also had the same problem as mentioned by Fishface, a low grinding noise when stop/starting in rush-hour traffic. My GTS is out of warranty now but it would be interesting to hear if anyone finds a solution. I presume that this problem is different from Maver’s bump bump scrape one.

My GT200 has been making this low grinding rumble at pull away for a month, and the smell of rubber when riding on long journeys at high speed(well as fast as this thing goes) new belt and roller so gonna change variator now. Scarily enough the dealer near me mention clutch problems too...... Sad

can you check the clutch shoes for wear

hopefully my noisy clutch will no longer be noisy as i tracked down the problem to the clutch bearings not the gearbox ones Cool

take the clutch bell off, usually theres a mountain of clutch dust is attatched to the bell.

blow the dust away with compressed air. dont blow it, you will end up with clutch dust all over your face Rolling Eyes

oh, and check that the clutch bell hasnt got and lumps or bumps on the contact surface where the clutch grabs.

brake cleaner works also as well. i havent had hte grinding noise since i started to clean out the transmission every so often.
