Default Clutch sounds like a turkey!

I asked a while back and I was told that when the clutch is cold it is normal for a little noise for a few minutes. Now, though, it lasts longer, is louder, and happens in any weather. When moving from a stop in 1st gear, the clutch makes a loud turkey like noise untill I come mostly off the clutch. The car has a spec clutch that came with the car. Not sure of the miles on the clutch. Is this noise normal? Thanks.

My spec does this once in awhile. I just slip it for a second or two and it goes away. Do you have a ligjtweight flywheel? I have a 15.5 lb one and i have to rev it alot higher to get it to engage smoothly. When i dont it chatters and usually shortly after my clutch squeaks.

What stage clutch is in the car? I ask because some materials are more prone to noise during engagement than others are.

Im not sure but I think its a lower stage because the clutch feels pretty light.
