cassie: You might have a presser plate with bad fingers on it. And, you just might have a bad brand new throw out bearing. Look to see if the fingers on the presser plate are all in line with the throw out bearing. Shine a light up into the bell housing and look at how it all is lined up. look for any shiny spots on the fingers and see if they look the same. Also look at the groove in the bearing for any shiny spots there. If all that looks good, then see if any thing is touching the inspection plate. It will leave a shiny spot on that as well. While you have your fingers in there see if the bearing is loose on the shaft. Should not wiggle if you try to rock it on the transmission shaft. If there is just a bit of wiggle you should be OK if it is real loose then it might be time to pull it back off and see what is wrong. Look for a good fit on the release fork and that the fork is smooth. If the fork is rough you will get some noise from there. Some one will have more suggestions. That is what this site is so good at doing. You might also have a loose pilot shaft bushing in the crankshaft. That might make some noise but seems unlikely to me. Let us know what you find.
