Hey guys, I'm currently stumped about an issue that just showed up on LT1 T56. The clutch is a Spec Stage 3 with approximately 150 miles on it. All of a sudden today, a horrible screeching/squealing noise comes from the bellhousing area whenever I depress the clutch pedal. I've never heard something like this before and I'm quite baffled as to the source. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Oh boy, nevermind!
I'm doing some interior work and I have wires laying everywhere. Well, one of them is jumpered to the yellow wire from the steering column which leads to.....the starter. It was lightly touching another wire that is jumpered to 12V constant.
It was keeping the starter engaged. Everyone share a good laugh at the automotive engineer's brilliance!
