Default 1st gear whine from new monster clutch setup

well i have just replaced my clutch(monster stage 3) and slave cylinder. Also about a month earlier i got a tick master cylinder to go along with it. well i have right around 600 miles on it and just noticed about 200 miles ago or so that it has a whine or grunt(almost like how a 10bolt would whine but at take off) noise coming from the clutch /tranny area or could even be coming from the master cylinder its hard to tell. Well talked to the guys up at monster and they were really cool with everything and seem to think i have glazed the clutch some during break in and to just beat on it some to knock the glaze off the clutch .well for the last 100 or so miles afer break in i have been beating the **** out of it and doing 4-5k clutch dumps to get the glaze knocked off and seems like it hasnt got any better. Im not doubting any of the monster guys but wondering if anyone else has had this prob. It mostly does it if you are taking off normally. If you take off at idle it doesnt do it or if you take off at a higher rpm than normal i cant seem to hear it or feel it. When it does especially slipping the clutch some its worse and you can feel it in the clutch pedal some. Just trying to see if anyone else has this prob or heard of this maybe can help me? But im def not bashing the clutch i will say the clutch feels perfect and everything seems to work great just a real annoying grunt or whine noise you can hear inside and outside of the car on take off .Also could it be not enough tranny fluid or something along those lines? Sorry for the long rant and really am hoping i dont have to go back and drop the tranny again.

i have the same problem with my stage 3 from monster and i cant figure out why either. i figured it was my rear end but now that you say it the sound is coming from under my center console. ill try to find out but unless your sitting in the driver seat you cant hear it at all.

well you can hear mine from the passenger or even outside the car when it does it and i have a pretty loud car. Gonna have my wife drive it to work all week to get some more miles on it since she works farther away and see if it goes away but have a bad feeling it isnt going away. I really cant have my car sit to long since it is driven alot to get my kid from daycare so i hope the guys at monster will help me out if it doesnt go away. I also followed the exact tq specs and broke it in exactly the way the paper work says. The clutch feels so nice though and the pedal almost feels like stock and very impressed with its manners for driveability.

Bump... Also found out today if you let the clutch out fast at normal rpm(1500-1800) where it might buck a little but it doesnt make the noise. Just hard to do that all the time in bumper to bumper traffic.

Also have heard from a couple people instead of doing a bunch of hard frist gear drops on the street to do a 30 or so roll throw it in 6th and drop the clutch and should help knock the glaze off since your pretty much guarnteed it wont light the tires up.
