Is it normal?

I have a Stage 4, 6 puck, Competition Clutch that was installed about 18k miles ago. Ever since I've had it, it often makes a squealing noise when feathering the clutch out of 1st gear. I don't feather it too much though because of the type of clutch it is. Instead, I try to release the clutch smoothly and quickly to avoid excessive slippage when feathering the clutch. Is this a normal sound?

I've hear of clutch chatter, but this sounds more like a squeal. Any ideas? Btw, my car consists of basic boltons and is around 315whp. I don't drive it that hard, and I never drop the clutch.

That is the exact sound I'm talking about. It sounds like squealing brakes. It must be the 6 puck...

Never found out what the problem was, but when I took the motor/tranny out and put it back it the noise was gone. Same disk, pp, and flywheel. Weird....
