New clutch, making noise

[BlOody_BoOger]

So I installed a new clutch ACT HD SB7. Clutch feels bites hard. There's som slight stuffer in first gear but only when I'm feathering the throttle at very slow speeds.
My issue is I noticed when in nuetral the clutch will make a slight chirping noise as soon as I put any little weight not force just little weight on the clutch pedal the noise stops. Is this typical with these clutches or should I take the whole thing apart again and see what's up? Other wise everything seems good.

hmmm......what is "stuffer"?

Did you replace the TOB when you replaced the clutch?

How long (how many miles) has the new clutch been installed?

Sometimes new clutches need to be broken in before they settle down -

Well a buddy of mine installed but he's reputable. He's the master tech at a subaru dealership and everyone in my town goes to him for repairs cuz we don't trust other mechanics. I should also mention I got the versus pivot fork and pivot ball installed aswell.

Fixed original post "studder" yes I got everything new. And even went with the newer upgraded 17+ throw out bearing. Because the earlier years the through out bearing was always the weak point. Nad it's got about 100 miles on it.

It might be helpful for you to describe the symptom in more detail.

Well, it may just be "gear rollover". Have you changed transmission oil lately?

I'll ring up our transmission sounds specialist ol @Ultramaroon ,to see if he might have some insight.

Yea I changed. The clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, throw out bearing, pivot fork, pivot ball, and new motul gear 300 oil.

Clutch is not broke in yet. Mine had the Stuffer for 1k miles or so. If it is a new throwout bearing I would not be worried about the noise right now.

Not transmission noise. There is something going on with the TOB. It may be that one or both of the retaining clips isn't engaged properly. This allows the TOB to be kicked away from the fork and can cause some slippage. The chirp should not be happening.

If it was mine, I'd drop the trans and inspect.

The shudder is going to happen with a stiff clutch. It's sad because that hammering is transmitted through the rest of the driveline. Feel sorry for the poor transmission, diff, CV joints

Hey y'all so I figured out what the noise was
So the Clutch fork boot wasn't placed back correctly and the clutch fork was rubbing up against the sides of the cut out for the fork causing it to squel and chirp.......any who I got a different problem now haha. Soooo for what ever reason on the higher rpms the clutch pedal seems to get stuck a lil and come back up very slowly. I must say I only have 300 miles on the kit. But today when I hopped on the highway I went to shift around 5k rpm from 3rd to 4th and noticed the clutch coming back up slow. I was able to repeat this. My guess is the pressure plate isn't fully broken in. But any ideas help.

I am not expert either but did you bleed clutch cylinder?
maybe air is in?
