Tuning 101

Wow, I'm having terrible luck for a 1st time Honda owner. A couple days ago I reported hearing a rattling/scratching noise coming on @ 3,500 RPM's and just got that fixed. Apparently I have double-walled tubing in my exhaust and the inner wall was welded incorrectly which caused the noise. Now all of a sudden I have another noise! When I slowly let the clutch out in 1st gear I hear a squeeky noise with a touch of rattle. What in the world could this be? I have to admit, I did take the car out last night for a run at the track. Could I have tranny issues from doing a couple of launches off the line? I was launching at low RPM's (somewhere from 2,000-3,000) because I have a fresh set of tires. Any information is greatly appreciated.

FYI: My car is a 2004 Civic DX

This might not be it since i dont really know a lot about clutches but my clutch just recently went out and it did the same noise. Are u having any trouble getting into ur gears or anything like that? if so you might have burned the clutch a bit

Shifts like butter. It's just 1st gear and reverse at low RPM's letting out the clutch.
