I changed my oil in my Stang last night with no problems. After filling up at the gas station this morning, I turned the ignition key and a grinding sound happened for a few seconds, the engine came to life, pressed the clutch pedal to the floor and a horrible metal grinding noise like a loud rod knock, but when I released the clutch pedal noise went away. Pushed the clutch pedal again and that terrible sound happened again, so limped the car to the side and called the tow truck figuring bailing wire and tape isn't going to fix this problem. Found out late this afternoon the starter had fragged itself, the throw out bearing is missing a lot of metal, the flywheel is scratched, etc.
