Search throwout bearing.

Also, in your sig you might consider 'learning' the difference between "you're" and "your".

Did you get new throwout bearings (and maybe pliot bearing) for your new clutch install ?

If not then .... that might be the problem.

It's for sure the release bearing, it lost tention thats why you hear that chirping noise. To make sure it is the release bearing you can do a few things. First, disengaging and engaging the clucth pedal you will hear the noise come on and off. When the clutch is disengaged your putting pressure on the bearing and the diaphragm spring, causing the noise to go away. When engaged the release bearing is barely touching the diaprhagm spring allowing it to free spin a little bit, thus it being without tention it spins easier and chirps. Second, also one way to check it is disengaing the clutch pedal like 1 inch. from fulling engaged position, where you can feel a small pulsation in the pedal and the noise will speed up and get louder, your gently allowing the release bearing to touching the diaphragm spring.
