Talked to mechanic, car is going in Thursday. Sounds like yes, the pilot bearing and the throw out bearing were both replaced as they came with the kit. So it's a mystery as of right now. I'll keep the thread updated for anyone who is interested.

Symptoms as of now:

1)Grinding noise as clutch is engaged or as it's being released (only when car is cold)

2)This morning (cold) there was a loud metal on metal "sloshing" noise coming from the transmission that went away after driving for 2 minutes.

Any ideas or brainstorming welcomed, thanks as always guys!

Throw out bearing noise will get louder the more you press on the clutch, If it is only making noise right before engagement/disengagement and goes away once clutch fully grabs it is the pilot bushing.

I guarantee the throw out bearing is not bad. It is a beast of a bearing.

I put my money on they did not change the pilot bushing and now it is making noise and they do not want to put what they should have done the first time in again for free.

If you hear a quiet "Zip" type noise with car off when pressing clutch in and out quickly this is normal as you can hear the bearing slide on the bearing guide tube esp if it is not lubed well. This goes away in time as the sleeve wears smooth in to the guide tube. If it is excessive they did not center the fork well as instructed in the instructions.
