Funny Squealing Noise After Clutch Install..

Installed a new (2ndhand) gearbox and a brand new heavy duty clutch/pressure plate and a new machined flywheel on the weekend.. the only thing that wasn't replaced was the spigot bush. There is now a funny squealing noise under acceleration, pretty loud in 1st but not so loud in 2nd and higher.

Just wondering if this is something to worry about? could it be the spigot bush catching and making noise? When I picked the clutch up the guy gave me a spigot bush and said to replace it while the box was out as they tend to dry out, catch up and make noise but that's about it. Didn't have the right tool to remove it so we just left it.

Clutch seems fine (pedal is really low and short now though), no slippage and bites nice when I drop it..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 馃槀  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.

      It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?

      The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.

      Yep I'll find those and get back to you. To be honest I wasn't aware of data sheets until you mentioned it. I'm still new to this haha, lots to learn. My car is parked outside, it rusted in less than 24 hours lol. Only minor surface rust that was easily removed but I've been worried that it might rust from the inside out and screw me over in the long term (if I decide to keep the shitbox for that long).

      Sorry I meant nismo bushes in the J arm, not the actual gktech upper camber control arm.
