About two weeks ago I had a transmission shop install a new Exedy Stage 1 clutch (with both bearings included), a new flywheel, and a new clutch cylinder. During the break in period I noticed when the car is initially started up it gives off a prominent metallic chirp about 60 seconds after startup. The chirp is random in its coming and going, and happens both during neutral AND I hear it at low RPMS while driving. It eventually fades away after about 10 minutes of cruising...

The break-in period has passed and Its still doing it... So Im wondering if something is wrong now or is it just life with Exedy?

When its chirping I can silence it when I push the clutch in.. Even just the lightest tap silences it.

Is my Clutch fork shot or something?

I put a video with audio on youtube for those who wanna give it a listen.. Towards the end of the clip I demonstrate just how lightly I can tap the clutch too...

 

adjust the clutch pedal free play, the shop also probably didn't do a very good job of cleaning the throwout bearing cone on the transmission or at all which makes the throwout bearing drag on the PP fingers.

 

I'll definitely try the adjustment this weekend. The bite point is a little higher then I'm used to also... Thanks

 

yeah, most definitely sounds like the throwout is binding slightly on the housing, releasing the clutch should allow it to come off the PP completely if it was greased and adjusted properly(moving freely).
