clicking sound at low speed, brand new clutch

I just installed a Clutchmaster Stage 3 clutch with the matching flywheel from Clutchmasters, everything is mint except one thing. I have a clicking noise whenever the car is moving at low speed, I say at low speed but the sound is probably there during higher speeds, I just can’t hear it. It isn’t a loud clicking, but rhythmic, it’s as if there is a flat spot somewhere and it catches on the flat spot. Now, this only happens when the engine is running, if I shut the engine off and keep rolling, the sound isn’t there. So it can’t be the driveshafts. Oh yeah, my engine is a b16a2, if anybody can help me out with some ideas, I would greatly appreciate it, Thanks

Hrm... clicking...

If the clutch is depressed (engine seperated from transmission/pedal down)... the clicking sound from there would mean worn out ball bearings that support your clutch when your clutch is depressed.

It could even be worn out ball bearings with the clutch up I suppose...
Go back to the place you got it installed at and ask them about it. Make sure your clutch is brand new.. if it's not brand new.. get it replaced or make sure it's seen good days if it's used.

Stage 3 clutches are funny animals.

Did they replace the release (throw out) bearing when they changed the clutch?

A friend of mine had a similar problem (rattling noise) after installing the same clutch on his Talon and it was the release bearing which was not changed when the new clutch was installed.
