Default Odd noise

I put in a spec 3 clutch maybe 6 months ago and about 200 miles later I started to hear a squeal coming from that area. It only happens when engaging into first at low rpms and somtimes second. I cant seem to figure out what it is. Has this ever happen to anyone?

A squeal seems to be a common thin with Specs. Mine does it and I've searched on here and others have had the same thing.

It isn't unusual to have a bit of noise when using a carbon-semi-metallic disc material like that of stage 3. This typically occurs relative to temperature, the cooler it is the more likely you are to hear this sound. That being said, based on your discription it doesn't seem as though there is an issue! Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks,

Ive never heard or read anything like this before and just wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong or anything getting damaged. The noise is pretty loud sometimes, especially after letting the car sit for a while.

If you want to make a video of this so I can hear it I am happy to take a look or listen!
