has anyone had a started go bad or get stuck on the fly wheel on their 2012? i thought it was the throwout bearing but i looked at the fly wheel and starter gear and it looks like its getting hung up. i might hit the fly wheel with a little lube to see if it will help it retract the starter gear. its making whinning noise when i start it and depress the clutch peddle then start to drive and the niose goes away. any help would be great:beer:

May want to check that the spring isn't broken that kicks the starter gear back out of the flywheel ring gear.
