Chirping from the clutch?
I have a 3.5 swap in my car. I have not driven it since the swap but it has been started and warmed up several times. When I start the car I get a chirping noise from the clutch/bellhousing area. As the car gets warm, it gets less noticiable until the chirping is gone. When I push the clutch pedal in the chirping goes away (even when the engine is cold and the engine is chirping the loudest)....so this would point to the TOB? I am hoping the problem goes away once I get a few miles on the car but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. All of the clutch parts are brand new. Thanks for any input.

I was thinking the same thing
I will do that if it does not go away after driving it a few miles. I just got the brakes blead last night, so I should be able to put a few miles on it this weekend.

My car has the same chirping noise coming from the bellhousing area. I thought it was the ISB, but I think it's just the TOB needs replacement. I know your clutch is brand-new, but my car has been making this noise since I bought it and it hasn't gotten worst.
Maybe you got a defective TOB?

did you inspect the tob to make sure it didnt have a crack or defect on it?? when i replaced my clutch the tob had a crack in it, most likely from one of my stupid friends hanging around the install and dropped it on the ground. anyways, i had to replace mine because it deff sounded like something was broken.
if it goes away i wouldnt worry too much but you wont know for sure till you get that baby on the road!
