clutch squeak/whistle
Hi Guys,
Hope this is the right section!
The clutch on my 94 Miata whistles when I'm letting of the pedal while starting from a dead stop.
It only happens on hills, slopes etc when the car wants to roll backward.
I've googled the issue but have not found anyone that had an issue only on hills/slopes.
FYI.. its a racing beat clutch put in by previous owner about 15=20k miles ago (have to check receipts for exact time).
Thanks for any pointers.

So after work I went back to my car and it does NOT squeal on the same exact slope.
Here is what I'm thinking happened. I was sitting in rush hour traffic for over 10 minutes on a hilly area. Clutch was heated up and it squealed. I just ended up parking the car and luckily I didn't damage anything because you're supposed to stop using the car if its heated up or so I've read.
1 hour drive back home and no sounds came back or on startup or on hills or anywhere. Sweet!
After reading up on it, I've realized I'm not driving correct in stop and go traffic.
Luckily caught my mistakes soon!
