!!Winding Sound @ Clutch Release!!

I'm getting a deep winding sound when I release my clutch in 1st gear. This usually happens if the RPMs are above 2k. I have a fidanza aluminum flywheel and a SPEC Stage 1 clutch... It sounds as if you can hear the flywheel and clutch rubbing against each other. Any ideas of what this can be?

Did you put in an OEM nissan throwout bearing, or the one that came from SPEC?

My Clutchnet 6 puck does that...been doing that for about 2000 miles now since the clutch was New with a New Fidanza Flywheel. Some say the noise is normal

i might have that noise too sometimes when its colder. the best description for the sound would be sliding a metal legged stool on a tile floor, sorta that metal binding moaning noise.
