Replaced Mount Now Creak?

[amsgator]

I replaced my front motor mount and now my car is makin a funny noise again.... its kinda like a creak and i can feel the clutch vibrate when the sounds starts...so i hope my clutch isnt screwed now....it's a creak but it's low pitched, not a high squeely one. so now i am concerned. i dont know what it is. if i start out really slow and release the clutch really slow it doesn't do it, but if I start of normal it does.... it sounds like it is coming from the driver's side, but i dont know exactly where. i dont know what it could be. it doesnt do it when i start out really slow and release the clutch really slow, so i am kinda worried. It's one problem after another....

i think my clutch is bad or going bad:

How do I know if my clutch is going out?
Three common symptoms that might be noticed when your clutch is going out :
1 Your engine rpms are higher than normal when accelerating and will spike up, usually you will first notice on steep hills or harder acceleration (sometimes an adjustment will fix this if caught early enough)
2: Your transmission is hard to shift, especially into 1st and reverse gears (always have your clutch linkage, cable or hydraulics checked 1st in this case)
3:You hear a whirling noise when pushing in on clutch pedal

It is hard to put in reverse, sometimes i have to push the clutch in, release and push again before it will go into reverse. and sometimes at stop lights it is hard to put it in first. :( not sure if this is the clutch now or something else

anyone got any ideas/tips? maybe the clutch/pedal needs lubing?

well i got an audio clip of it on my cell phone...it sounds worse on that than in person...i stuck the phone on the floor so it was closer to the noise i guess... if i can figure out how to get it on my computer i'll upload it.

I wish I could help...but I aint got a clutch, well not a pedal for one anyways...

That's weird... if it started RIGHT after putting on the mount, then try putting the stock one back and seeing if it still does that. I can't see how a mount could cause a creak, though.

i dont think its the mount, i think it's the throwout bearing :'( i am gonna take it to a mechanic today i think. i leave saturday to go home for the summer so i might have to have my g/f take me home so it can stay here and be fixed

The BAD news (for SLS not me): the mount caused the problem
The GOOD news: the noise stopped once i replaced the SLS w/ the stock mount

so i am in the process of contacting SLS to get my money back. not sure why this caused a problem but it did. i even drove it again this morning w/ the SLS mount it and it did it, changed it to stock, works fine now.
