Gentlemen...I need your wise advice! re: clutch issues
All right just had this friend of a friend install a new clutch in my 02 tacoma trd 4x4. ( got 118k on my original!)I know that this topic has been posted before but kinda different scenario here. Day #1 worked perfectly and was noise free from what i remember anyhow. Day #2 , While driving with clutch engaged ( foot off of the pedal) I can hear a chirping sound. More apparent at lower speeds with the window down. If I apply just a tiny amount of pressure on the clutch pedal it goes away instantly. My worry is that its the throw out bearing (release bearing , whatever). It's brand new ! Looked at a Hane's manual and they suggest that it could be just a pedal adjustment, or unfortunately throw out bearing binding on transmission shaft. Maybe it wasn't lubricated enough? I know that its a brand new bearing ( no I didn'r buy remanufactured) because he gave me back my original. I can't hear it when I'm idle and in neutral, only when in gear and traveling. I haven't driven it since I noticed right away , afraid I'll do damage. Is it going to cause problems? Do I take it all back apart and replace the bearing? I have actually had a few people tell me to give it 50 / 60 miles to see if it " just goes away". What's yer thoughts/suggestions? Any help/advice would be of the greatest appreciation!!! Thanx in advance guys!

Welcome to the family... as far as your problem goes you got me... I edited your title so maybe you'll get some more hits...
For future reference when you post a question try to include the specific area you're having trouble with ie clutch, stereo, tires, whatever... a lot of members just skim over the thread titles looking for what they are interested in or know about and they might not dip in to an open ended thread title like you had up...
I'm sure our members will be able to help.

Got the throw out bearing out and yes that was the culprit! Autozone warrentied it for me, threw in the new one and not a sound. What a pain , but it's resolved now.
