Proper lubrication during clutch installation can reduce the chances of noise problems down the road.
	Squeals and growls are usually caused by worn or seized bearings. Chirping noises are usually caused by vibration somewhere in the release system.
	Determine the source of bearing noise by setting the parking brake, putting the vehicle in neutral and starting the engine. Refer to the chart below to determine the source of the noise.

	NOISE		SOURCE
	Growling or grinding when the clutch is engaged.		Transmission input shaft bearing
	Squealing when the pedal is actuated and held.		Pilot bearing or bushing
	Chirping that intensifies when the pedal is slowly actuated.		Release bearing
	Chirping while idling in neutral that disappears when the pedal is slowly actuated.		Fork/pivot ball contact point

Causes of Noise

External
	Incorrect release system adjustment
	Worn driveshaft or halfshaft components
	Worn engine or transmission mounts
	Broken cable self-adjuster
	Worn or improperly lubricated pedal components
