Grinding Past 5.3k rpm, Bent Pressure Plate?
#11
Its difficult to speculate. Most of us don't have experience with the long term effects of running a clutch with a bent pp finger.
You won't know until you remove trans and inspect. Thats free if diy. I would start there.

I'm just trying to get any solid information before I spend a whole day or get stuck for 2 weeks again without a car and screwing everyone around me. No, I won't know but at least I'll have a better idea of how important it is to do asap or in 3 months.

to me this sounds very important and I would. It drive the car any more for the risk if you doing more damage to the transmission or engine. If you wait a few months and continue to drive the car best case scenario is you don't do any addition damage but worst case scenario is the nose gets worst and you damage the transmission to the point you need a new one. Or worse the bent clutch some how warps your crankshaft and you need a new engine. If I was you I would throw the car on jack stands and pull the transmission tonight.

Do you mean the intense grinding after 5.3k could be caused by the starter being loose or only the light grinding?

How likely is it that I would need to replace the whole transmission rather than just the clutch and P/P?
