Squealing noise from new clutch

I've just recently changed the clutch to a stage 3, 6 puck clutch.

I have a squealing noise coming from what it seem the clutch.

How can I tell its from the clutch? Every time I press down on the clutch
it goes away.

What I want to know if this is normal?

Sounds like clutch chatter to me. It'll likely get quieter or even go away as you break the clutch in more.

Does it do it driving down the road? If it only does it, on release, thats a characteristic of a 6 puck sometimes. Should have went with a regular disk.

It only stop when clutch paddle is pushed in. Otherwise driving and at idle it makes that noise.

Somethings wrong then. Did you replace the throw out bearing? Maybe its not installed correctly? Either way, sounds like its time to drop the tranny again.

Mine makes that noise too. I deploy in less than a month so the car will be sitting for 7 months, and will be NA-T'd when I get back so should I just wait for a new clutch setup or will it hurt anything if I drive around about a month with it squeeking?
