Thank you Jim!
Yes your SC WILL turn even at an idle. It just isn't engaged so as Jim stated you can stop the SC itself from turning using the technique he described.
Of course there is still a bearing located in the clutch that could be going bad and that would have the grinding sound you described.
You could use Woody's hose to the ear trick to localize the sound.
If all else fails you could give the car to me!
