Mine was brand new and it made noise. I can't remember if it started right away or if it took awhile. I would think that it's possible the clutch is out of adjustment. Check your pedal free play, then see about adjusting the linkage based on the free play. See if the adjustments have any effect on the noise (different pitch, etc.) Good luck. John
