b18c gsr squeaky clutch
hi everyone i'm a newbie here just signed up today.anyways i have a 94 civic coupe with a 94 b18c gsr motor, i noticed that theres a sqeaky sound coming from the tranny area, it's not loud but noticeable specially at night time or there is some other car right beside me, i'm guessing it's the cluth because everytime i step on the cluth it goes away and after i release the clutch the sound comes back slowly,the car runs fine the clutch works fine except for that squeaky sound (by the way clutch is new even the throw out bearing), and i can only here that in idle.does anybody knows about this please help.thanks in advance.

LEVEL UP
I have a similar problem with my clutch. I get a sort of rubbing metal noise until I push in the clutch pedal. When I push the clutch in to the disengagement point, the noise goes away. I can also hear it when I am driving at low rpms. I have been told it's the throwout bearing but I'm not totally sure...

i talk to my mechanic that did the clutch for me, he said that sometimes it does that because it is still new probably it's not completely broken in (break in) yet, but he said he can adjust the clutch so it would not put too much pressure to the throwout bearing and eventually the sound would go away,is it true what my mechanic said? i need a second opinion from you guys,and it's only been 2 months ago since i change my clutch and throwout bearing.thanks.

Mine squeaks but it doesn't interfere with anything, so when I have enough money for a new clutch, that is how I will fix it.

hey guys i noticed something about my clutch again, everytime i step on the clutch and put it into gear when i release the clutch just a lil bit the car starts moving, it's not doing that before,usually i have to release it almost halfway before the car moves. do you guys think the mechanic's right that it needs some adjustment? that's why it's making that squeaky sound.
by the way thanks for the reply guys i appreciate it.
