Clutch Freeplay/Squeeks!
My old clutch had some freeplay and squeeked all the time, so I replaced it with the Centerforce II(new throwout bearing, everyhting). Now the freeplay in the clutch is even worse (I can move the clutch pedal about to and fro about 1/2 to either side). So now because of my flowmasters, if my foot isn't touching the clutch pedal the whole thing shimmies and squeakes very annoyingly. Every once in awhile it squeeks when I depress it too...Is there a bushing or something that missing...can't stand the squeeks!!!!

Re state the movement, is it up and down or side to side? Do you have the return spring attached to the firewall? You should have not free play pulling the peddle up, you can adj the downward travel byt moving the adjuster on the pedal rod but I am assuming you did not read the orange card and get the clutch fork geometry right.

The free play is side to side...in the past I did adjust it so it sat closer to the floor board and required the slightest pushoff to roll...but the noise is definately coming from it shimmying side to side when no pressure is mounted via my foot.
