Default Spec Stage 3 Noise

Hey guys I need to check out a noise. I was moving my car to begin tear down for low oil pressure. Anyways I gave it a quick rev to help build some pressure up. Maybe 2500 rpm. When I did the clutch gave a nasty growling noise. Sounded real bad.

Its happened before and I thought it was the new throw out bearing. The spec one was separating. So I replaced it with a space I had from another clutch set. Anyways the noise is back. Here is a video of it the first time. I am hoping its not the clutch as this one has like maybe 650 miles on it. Trans was rebuilt as it bearings failed in that.

Adding that this noise is only when the clutch is pushed in. Once you release the clutch it goes away and come back at random. Any ideas on what could cause this?

Bump for any ideas. Thinking it may be the clutch disc. Going to have the car apart soon to check it out. Anybody got any ideas.

You have a pilot bushing or bearing?

Yeah I have a bushing in place. As for the noise its a grawling noise. It could be bad speakers. I should have got the video with the clutch out to hear the noise go away.

Once you take it out you need to carefully inspect the input shaft and bushing to see if it has excess wear. Is the bushing new?

Brand new bushing. Input shaft was cleaned 500 miles ago when I had the whole transmission rebuilt. Will check everything.

OEM. Block was an auto block. Had a brand new bushing in place. Noise has only been on this block. Old block with same setup had a new zoom one. Thinking now I may swap the spec one from this clutch in for good measure.
