sometimes when starting the truck with clutch pedel down in 1st gear the clutch starts clicking, like a metal grinding sound but it doesnt pull. if i pull it in neutral and release the pedel, then press it again and put it in 1st its fine.

also, in some gears, mostly 5th, it makes a loud whinning sound....it seams to work fine its just loud inside the truck. This truck has had a transmission from something else put in it, (the reverse light plug dosn't fit it) but i don't know what it came from (previous owner put it in). But when i replaced the clutch I got one for the standerd explorer 4.0, i'm thinking maybe its from a slight difference in the compatability of the Standerd clutch and this other transmission.

Or maybe i need to bleed the clutch more? It started this summer of last year after i changed the clutch, gears change fine, drives fine but the noise is starting to get annoying!!
