Excedy Hyper Single

Anyone have this clutch? I've had it in my car for about 5 months and when I first had it put in, the push rod wasn't adjusted right (didn't know this at the time) and I launched it a few times and the clutch wouldn't grab! I thought I blew it out the first time launching it. Turns out the push rod had to be adjusted. Got it adjusted and it launches fine now, but I think something happened to it. It makes this annoying squeaking sound everytime I roll out of first gear from a dead stop. Sounds like squeaky brakes. (definately the clutch though) Also, had higher rpms, it doesn't go into gear really smooth. No grinding or anything, it just seems to take more effort to put it in than the stock clutch did. Even when it goes into gear at the higher rpms (7k redline) it fine, I just remember the stock one going in more smoothly. Any help would be appreciated. I can't figure out why it squeaks. I heard some exdedy clutches having problems with the throw out bearings. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have the exact same symptoms. I have 15k on the hyper single now, but it still grabs like day one. I am not too worried because the symptoms have been there since the clutch was installed.
