i have a 00' integra and i think the original clutch is still in it, 180,000km. when i have the car in gear there is a faint grinding sound. the same thing happens only more so when i engage the clutch. the only way i can stop it while driving is by double clutching and when im in neutral it stops the grinding; however if i put it in neutral and leave the clutch engaged it continues to grind, wondering if i just need a new clutch or if it could be something else.

This is a transmission, not a clutch problem. The only time the clutch itself can make any noise is during engagement/disengagement. You may hear noise if the clutch is slipping, but it wouldn't be slipping (in most every circumstance) in neutral. Since it's still making noise when engaged, yet not when disengaged, the only other place to look is the transmission.
The term "grinding" is a broad term. I have no clue why double clutching would make it stop or make it any better.
