New clutch creaking noise
 
I just got a new clutch installed. Exedy clutch kit with new TOB. I also got verus fork and pivot installed. After a couple days, clutch starts making this noise when pressing it down slowly all the way. The noise is quieter in the cabin and louder near the slave cylinder area by the engine. I’m thinking I need to lubricate the pivot joint with grease. Any ideas? Thanks.

DIY or shop install?

My stock clutch fork does that, I need to get around to it.

Put a dab of EP grease on the end of the slave rod, if that doesn't fix it, transmission needs to get pulled off and grease applied to the pivot ball.

A shop installed it. There was grease included in the clutch kit but I’m not sure if they installed it in the proper places

Which shop? What did they say if/when you asked about this?

The extra small packet of grease included with the clutch is intended for the input shaft splines

I applied Lucas Oil Products Red N Tacky Grease to the top of the pivot ball and the slave cylinder linkage. So far it's quieter but the noise is still there. There is no audible noise when the engine is on and It shifts fine so I am assuming its not a big problem to worry about... I will reapply again in a couple of days and keep observing for any changes

Some local independent shop near my area. Since I brought my own parts they won't honor shop warranty. If my problem persists I'll give them a call out of curiosity.
