94 VW golf gl 2.0. I just got a new clutch put in and the more and more I let off clutch pedal in first gear it makes this noise that gets louder and louder and then when I take my foot all the way off the noise will stop but it will only do that when its in first gear. I think it maybe the clutch plate. What do you think?

Suggested Repair

Suspect the throwout (release) bearing. Have it inspected, since the noise grows while the clutch pedal is released in first gear and stops when the pedal is fully out. Diagnosis is tentative without an in-person inspection.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1994 Volkswagen Golf GL 2.0 says a newly installed clutch makes a noise that gets louder as the pedal is released in first gear and stops when the foot is fully off the pedal. It happens only in first gear, and the owner suspects the clutch plate. The expert suspects the throwout bearing but notes it is hard to confirm without inspecting the car.
