Anyone else had the same issue as me? I had an exedy clutch fitted begining of last year. Then towards the end of the year it started making a bit of a rattle so didn't think much of it. It's progressivly got worse. It's started making these odd noises now.
I've emailed exedy telling them their clutch sounds like it is falling to bits after only a year, to see what they say (which will probably be a big two fingers.)
If I was to guess I'd say it is the release bearing thats died. But that doesn't explain the spring noise? It isn't the one on the arm, that was what i thought it was at first.

I had similar noises to those in your first video, it was a dried out release arm on mine, I ended up having a new clutch, arm, release bearing and pilot bearing fitted. You can try spraying some oil/grease down the side of the release arm ( remove the rubber boot ) but dont get it on the clutch itself. This worked for 500miles on mine but then the noise came back.

The noise on video 2 sounds like release bearing to me, was a new one used when you had the clutch done ?

Release bearing

Struggling to understand what noise you're describing on clip 1.
Is it that grinding type noise?
If so, then that sound like all the grease has dried up.
