Help! i need to fix this and dont know where to start!

Hey everyone!

I have a 86 GXL and about 4-5 months after installing a RB 4 puck clutch it has started to make a squeek sound when i feather the clutch to start movin in first. Whenever the car jolts, or shudders, it squeeks. It sounds like its coming from the front end.. my gut instinct tells me its a mount... i dont know where to look.. wether it would be just loose (sounds like it - its definatly metal on metal)


Please Help!

did you replace ALL components, say the clutch, pressure plate and throughout bearing, and the pilot bearing and pilot seal?

Really?

i didn't replace it.. no.. it really doesn't sound like a bearing though.. like.. its not as much a squeek, as a rubbing of two metals together in unison with the shuddering.

throw-out, always replace it when doing a clutch swap, cheap insurance.
