Odd Clutch Slip Sounds?
 
Hi all, I posted this in the HR section, but haven't found many responses or ideas

I have the normal sound in neutral with the clutch engaged, marbles rolling in a bowl. It isn't very loud, but it is noticeable. There are no other sounds when the pedal is pushed in, no whining from bearings, etc

The sound I hear is when I'm slipping the clutch, and it is a "groaning" sound. Not a click or a rattle or anything like that, but a drawn out groan. It usually does it when cold, but quite often in the afternoon heat too.
I did a reasonably long trip a few days ago (500kms non stop each way), and that is when I started to notice the same sound when selecting first after sitting in neutral at a light, just a very quick burst of that same groan sound. Sometimes it would do it when changing gears too.

I'll add the two videos I took below, cheers heaps

Here's the outside one. It makes this noise when cold, sometimes it doesn't though, very random. As you can see it goes away at the end

Edit: no idea why this won't embed now

This is the internal sound, while backing up a driveway.

How much miles is on your clutch? I would just bring it to a transmission shop to have them diagnose the issue, trying to figure out stuff like this online, its a bit hard to pinpoint what could be causing the weird noises. Bring it to a shop and see what they say, then go from there with an educated decision.

I suppose that is the right thing to do. I was just thinking some others may have had the same sound, and may know what fixed it or caused it.
Clutch has about 70,000kms on it, so 43,000miles.
