this shop just finished 5 speed swap for me on my 1997 240sx. but it's making a weird noise when i just press the clutch in. it's a brand new clutch kit with a new throwout bearing

i shift fine at low rpm's.. like around 3k (doesn't make noise). but when i'm in first gear going to 4k, i press the clutch in, (not shifting) and it makes a loud noise, it gets louder if i hold the clutch in longer. During this loud noise, it's hard for me to put it into 2nd gear.

could it be because i need to break in the new clutch or.. is it because my flywheel wasn't resurfaced?

here you can see the video of it happening

you have 2 find out if the shop installed the pilot bearing and removed the auto pilot bearing cuz its a different size from auto transmission 2 manual transmission..its not from your clutch or your flywheel..
