So at this point there's several places you could start finger pointing, pilot bearing, trans front bearing, clutch disk.

ive always been told that if the clutch is out(foot not on pedal)
and you hear a grinding noise, its the TO bearing.. i had a 06 rsx type s that literally made this same exact noise, under the same circumstances, and sure enough, it was the TO bearing causing the issue... im fairly versed in automotive diag/repair... but my original question was if our warranty covers this, or if this part falls under a "normal wear and tear" part like a clutch disk
