Angry Clutch noise needs to go!!!

So ever since i got my car back, i have this clutch screech noise coming when im around 90-95% released, the only thing i had changed clutch wise is the disk from act street/strip, ended up changing the disk only and not the pressure plate to a 6 puck unsprung as someones recommendation (not hard to drive but kinda wish i didn't listen now) but the noise is just embarrassing, and gets worse if rpms are higher trying to slip the clutch. I personally have never heard any other car doing this so i figure something is wrong or its just the way the clutch is..

I just threw together 3 clips of the noise. This only happens from first

Justin that noise is from the disk engaging on the flywheel , i dont know if you remmeber my turbo2 did that for years , act disks suck ******* . only way the noise will go away is to machine the flywheel (sometimes it doesnt work) or go with another clutch company , im using a southbend feramic setup in my 2j rx and pedal feel is just a little firmer than stock and its holding 700+ right now . your brother has my number gimme a call i can send you in the right direction, if the noise is annoying you.

no i cant really remember your fc ..

I have had ACT for 5 or 6 years now iv never had any issue with them, till now. but like you said if it is the flywheel, and its resurfaced it should go away, why go with another clutch?

What is the probability of it going away if the flywheel is resurfaced.. and where would one bring it to be done?

I have had this problem with puck style clutches in the past, hence why there's a full faced organic clutch in my car currently :]

Competent machine shops can do it. You may want to remind them that the stock flywheel has a counterweight.
