Hi, could be clutch thrust bearing .

Hi,it could be that your thrust bearing is whereing out,its the bearing that when you put your foot on the clutch pedle it connects with the presure plate that lets the clutch plate have movement to spin,like aney bearing can where out,unless clutch is ferly new you should replace the free parts,
clutch-plate
pressure-plate
thrust-bearing(release-bearing)
but of coures only if it gets worse
hope this was some help.

So the hydraulic clutch is keeping pressure on the fork and the throw-out bearing (U.S. slang for clutch release bearing?) or thrust bearing is always running against the fingers on the pressure plate, is that the problem? And of course it burns out the bearing rather quickly?
You will have to examine all the parts, the slave cylinder and it's shaft, the fork and it's pivot point. Something in there not allowing the bearing to pull back far enough from the pressure plate so that it stops rotating. Is your pedal adjusted right? Maybe start there-the pedal has to allow a fraction of free play. Otherwise it is always putting pressure on the hydraulics.

the clutch disc probably finally gave up,, replace it,, have the pressure plate surfaced if needed,check the fingers for any wear , if they have any replace this part .. replace the throw out bearing,, and your good to go

thrust bearing thats all .

this noise is caused by a noisy clutch throw-out/release bearing, that is the part that presses against the pressure plate and disengages the clutch disk, the transmission must be removed to replace this part, so it is best to replace the clutch assembly at the same time, the labor for both is the same, about 5 hours

on your focus you got a hydrolic clutch get someone to check that you have got no air in the
clutch system .

google ur car info hun... there u will find...
