[_KK]

Last weekend I was a good car owner and replaced my break fluid and clutch fluid. Things went pretty well, a little bit of spillage. I also took the opportunity to replace the clutch line with a MTECH Stainless Steel one. Hoping it would further improve the clutch feel.

After what appeared to be a successful replacement of both fluid and line for the clutch. Bleeding appropriately etc. I now have a noise somewhere in-between a chirp and a shhh. I think it varies with engine speed, not road speed or gear ratio. It isn't very loud but it is annoying.

The noise is only apparent when the clutch pedal is fully out driving down the street. It is constant when the pedal is out. As soon as I put even a little bit of pressure on the pedal the noise goes away. I mean even before the clutch starts to disengage.

This definitely started right after the replacement of the line and fluid, however I have previously removed the "helper" spring from the pedal mechanism a few months ago.

None of the other clutch noise threads seem to be about this specific issue. It is like a backwards version of a throw-out bearing problem where the noise goes away when you push the pedal.

Anybody have any ideas? Thank you.
