I just recently installed a new Pro Exedy Clutch Kit, less than a month ago. I still get a squeaking sound from clutch area when in idle, until I press in clutch and it goes away. It also feels like a squeaking in the pedal (which is a factory replacement about 1 yr ago). After inspecting pedal assembly, it seems normal. Could the Throw Out Bearing be gone already? Would a bad release bearing cause squeaking in neutral AND squeaking in pedal? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We've narrowed it down to Throw Out Bearing... I have ordered a new Throw Out bearing from Mazda. Are there any extra precautions I should be aware of to ensure proper alignment/installation of the bearing?.. Other than bleed the clutch line, adjust clutch pedal setting, and grease between fork and engagement rod.

Thanks for the info. Charles, it's very much appreciated. We are dropping the transmission tomorrow. I will update once I have more information.

Swapped out the aftermarket Throw Out Bearing with the Mazda one. Aftermarket bearing was different than stock. Seems good now.)
