I've had the clutch, flywheel, TB, pivot bearing, fork, and fork, cable clutch replaced and added a firewall cable adjuster and quadrant. Everything was good until I started hearing a chirping while in idle and low speed. Once I press the clutch pedal in the noise goes away. I've had the transmission taken off twice and nothing looks out of the ordinary.

Is that normal for the new parts that were replaced and added?

Any help would be greatful.

Sure sounds like a throw out bearing to me. What kind did you put in? I’ve read some stories on here where people have horrible luck with them. Could try taking the inspection cover off and squirt some wd 40 on it, see if it quiets down.

Adjust your firewall adjust until the throwout bearing isn't touching the clutch anymore. There's supposed to be some free play so this doesn't happen.

The input housing sometimes gets scored - especially the aluminum ones - and then the TOB will make noise until you put just a bit of tension on the clutch cable. The fix is to get a steel one instead of aluminum. That’s how it was with the T5’s in fox bodies I’ve owned. Not sure if the Terminator trans is similar in that way or not.
