Friend has an 02 accord 4cyl with a 5-speed. Shop installed a new aftermarket clutch and flywheel for him a couple months ago. Car runs fine, no issues with shifting grinding, or clutch catching. Beginning of this week, it started squealing when he moves from a stop in first gear. Sounds like tires squealing off the line, but lower pitched. Only happens from a stop, and only while the clutch is engaging. Once it is fully engaged and driving, there are no problems. No other sounds from the tranny. Any ideas?

Problem found. Sounds like cheap parts.

 

Really think that could be the sole cause of this squealing problem??
