Sounds normal to me. The clutch engagement is going to be harsh with a puck disk.

As long as it is engaging and shifting fine, it is functioning normally. It probably would have been wise to research before you put in a clutch not really meant for daily driving.

Agreed.
And the lightened flywheel will only help to make your drive even tougher.

well i am still really sure that there is something wrong because i decided to bleed the clutch and once i did it drove fine and shifted normal with out the noise but after 2 days the noise came back is it possible that the throw out bearing or the fork is not on correctly?

it seems that the throw out bearing is not engaging or letting out correctly could that make the noise

If it worked fine after you bled the system, the Slave cylinder or the Clutch Master cylinder might be leaking.

no everything is clean and no fluid loss... its the wierdest thing has to be something with the throw out berring because it only does it when you push in the clutch its like its not going in or out all the way?
