S14 SR grinding noise with clutch in

[bilik]

So last night I changed me slave cylinder and clutch line. This morning I go to start my car and I get the starter click. So I beat it with a wrench and got it to start. The engine was running terrible. I noticed my o2 was unplugged and plugged it back in, but there was still a ticking noise. I get in my car and press the clutch pedal only to hear the most brutal noise a car can make. The video explains the rest.

Anybody seen this before? My theory is the starter gear is stuck or something.

Did the noise exist before changing slave cylinder and clutch line?


If it DID NOT:
Re bleed, re bleed re bleed.

If it DID:
Pull trans see if Throw out bearing is toast, or if pressure plate is junk, or if something simply fell apart in there.

FWIW: Replace the bushings in the clutch pedal to get rid of that squeak noise upon applying the clutch.

The noise is brand new. Drove it home. Did said work. Went to bed. This started the next morning. Clutch feels alright pressure wise and will still shift, but I haven't dared drive it.
