Clutch noise? When moving from a stop in first gear and my foot is about 3/4 off the clutch, it makes a strange noise that sort of sounds like a bad note played on a trumpet. The car as 40k miles and the clutch is some aftermarket clutch that came with the car if any of that helps. So, has anyone else heard this and perhaps could explain it to me? Thanks.

Cost depends on how much you can do yourself. I had someone do it for me because of a bad back. $350 to R&R the trans, cost of the bearing, fluid, clutch bleed. My pilot bearing was dry and very brittle when they took it out. Always a good idea to change it when doing a clutch swap.
Dependent on the clutch you have and the material that is used on its disc you may be hearing a sound that is completly normal. With carbon-semi-metallic disc materials you can hear a bit of a "squeal" or "moan" under certain conditions. This is generally most evidence when the clutch pedal is being riden during release. Often, this noise will go away as temps increase meaning that the sound will be more evident on cooler days and during the first few shifts of usage. I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks,
