Finished Clutch / IMS Job, now have scary mystery squealing noise

[JFP in PA]

At this juncture, no one really knows for sure what the issue(s) is (are); regardless of their basis in fact and experience, all suggestions are conjecture and nothing more. I have seen the exact problem Jake mentioned; I have also not seen a resurfaced dual mass work correctly. That said, I doubt the dual mass can make a noise, but I do know the wrong clutch disc can make all kinds of noises. In addition, I also know that if the car was in my shop and made noise after reassembly, it would already be apart to see why…………… It is not going to “heal itself”. You have work to do.

Yep, time to dig back in there or hire a new mechanic.

I dropped the transmission with the slave still attached. It seemed to be in the right place in the release lever.



Sorry for the poor photo, but this shows the clutch disk with a bit of scorching near the the fastener. This probably occurred while we purposely made the noise on the lift.



This is what the pressure plate looked like.



The throw out bearing that I installed was for a 987 (pelican said this was the only one they sold) and I had to buy a new ball pin and release lever for it. This is the old OEM 986 pivot piece that was in there from the factory (or last clutch job). I left it in even though the new release lever didn't seem to have grooves for it. Maybe that was a mistake?

I still don't know what was causing the problem, and am not sure if the clutch disk is still good... Not really sure how to proceed here.
