People that are running spec clutches please step in

so a lil over a month ago i did my engine build while i had the motor out i installed the spec 3+ with lighter flywheel. my question i have to people that have the same setup is on cold start ups do you have rattling noises at idle that comes from there? its goes away once i give it a lil gas or drive around for a lil bit and everything is all warmed up. Also after the cold start up when i start to go and i engage the clutch it screeches a lil but that goes away after everything is warmed up as well? is this normal?

Spec S2+ here w/ LWFW, the crying & moaning is normal cold, no rattles though. Sure it's the clutch? Only when the pedal is down or when released in neutral?

Maybe a loose spring on the disc plate?

Stupid question BUT... Did you make sure to use your alignment tool? Spec clutches = garbage. End discussion.

mine does the same thing but only when it's cold.. something i noticed that was a "rattling" was actually my windshield washer top moving because of the extra vibrations lol

but once the car warms up i dont notice it anymore
