Crash start? Do you mean jump start, like with another car? When you let the clutch out, when(?), you hear the loud grinding?

Also, it appears that a good portion of your question was cut off.

Remove the starter and make sure that the nose has not broken away and is bouncing around, common fault, if that is ok, you will have to pull the box as i would say the clutch has started to fall apart.
