New clutch install question? Issue?
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/99183/flywheel.jpg"></center><p>Just had a new Southbend installed and it is making a funny sound that concerns me and my tuner.
When the clutch peddle is depressed all the way there is a faint ticking sound. The ticking is similar to the sound of something lightly brushing a spinning fan. Haven't driven the car because we are all scared to until we hear back from Southbend.
At the same time the install was done I had a used OEM flywheel put in. It was pulled out of a wreck and had only 1200 miles on it. Picture enclosed.
Thoughts? Ideas?

Release bearing or clutch plate come to mind. The clutch disk looks good in the picture
but its hard to tell if it really is flat. I have zero clutch experience with this car, so my comments are based on other designs.
Does the pitch change with the engagement of the release bearing?
