Default Squeaking Noises

I had a new z06 clutch disc, pressure plate, flywheel, and slave cylinder put in my 02 ws6 about 6000 miles ago. About 3000 miles ago, I started hearing this squeaking noise when I let out the clutch pedal and starting rolling out of 1st gear and also when I step semi-hard on the gas in low gears. Sounds like it's coming from clutch/transmission. Thought perhaps it was the throwout bearing but I come to find out that the slave cylinder has a new throwout bearing included. Any ideas what this could be? The squeaking has gotten worse over the last couple of months and its not when i'm going over bumps, etc.

Mine was making that squeaking noise and a few months later my clutch began to slip. My pilot bearing was also trashed so that could have been it also. Also replaced the TOB when we did the clutch...

was it squeaking after you replaced the clutch or just before? The only thing that wasn't changed was the pilot bearing.. can those cause squeaks?

I had this problem, found that it was the aluminum shielding rattling/squeaking. Check that first - 10mm bolt on all the ones I touched.
