I finished up my 6 bolt swap (as of today it has 550 miles on it). Its all be going fine with the exception of my clutch line, the metal one going to the slave leaking. I replaced the metal line, slave and master (all OEM new). Put another 100-150 miles on the car and it all seems to be great.
Today I drove all around and when I went to drop off some packages at FedEx I noticed a new noise. When I clutch in you can hear a squeek or creek type sound. At first I thought it was the pedal assembly but its not...its around the trans itself. I feel as if its the pressure plate or the clutch fork. The car drives the same and all but the noise bothers me that something could be or will go wrong with it. The car has a NEW ACT 2100, OEM flywheel and new OEM throw out bearing. I dont want to have to pull the trans especially just getting the car on the road and all. Im hoping the noise will go away just like how it randomly showed up. Any ideas? I am just getting a bit worked up with the car as I have very little time with finals and working full time... in 2 weeks when its all over it will be fine but why now :mad:

Thanks
 
If it helps any... my morning drive (the car sat all night) the car did not make the sound at all. The drive home this afternoon it did not make a sound either. I then stopped at a gas station filled up and the noise came back.
Any ideas? I may try to rebleed the clutch system.
 
Might just be not greasing up the front of the throwout bearing good enough?

I seen that make an annoying little squeek like that but with no ill effects except the noise.
 
Probably the throw out bearing. Don't know if there are other ill effects besides the noise either.
