Unhappy os giken clutch issue

It feels great and it really grabs but the issue that im having is that when i press in the clutch i get the sound of metal rubbing up against each other and i was wondering if that is normal and if not how do i fix it please help its really annoying

That is NORMAL on a OS twin disc... Kinda the same thing you hear when someone on a Ducati pulls up next to you at the stop light.. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT...

Thats normal, crazy sound the first time you hear it though. All twin plates ive ever driving have sounded like that. i have one that is 2x the size of my mazda's one thats in a dumptruck at work.. sounds like the trannys gona come though the floor when you use the clutch on that one
