Transmission Squeal After 6MT Swap

Segments · 01-16-2021, 05:23 PM

Hey guys. Few weeks ago I did a full 6AT to 6MT swap with some buddies. Everything went rather smooth and is working fine. I installed a DKM St3 clutch with its supplied fork and TOB. I am currently breaking in the clutch. About 50-100 miles in (currently at about 150-200) I began noticing a squeal that occurs when off the clutch pedal. This only occurs while moving and not at idle. Sounds localized to the front passenger side. Tried reproducing on a lift but it will not make the sound on a lift. Have already switch from Redline D4 to MTL just to see if it changed anything, which it did not. Any ideas ? Was thinking I should fully break in the clutch before pulling things apart.
