its not 100% that...

make sure its not simple things first... engine mounts etc.

Clutch release bearing is inside the gearbox.... basically same work as new clutch.

Do a search.

yes... it can happen... heatspots etc

you find out by taking it out. Usualy its only apparent with a shuddering when pulling away or engaging the clutch.

it can be re-ground, but i wouldnt advise it. i.e do you know how worn it is before you reface it, you could be taking it quite far back bal bla

chuck a new lightened one in
