Default Knocking in clutch after replacement

Hey everyone,

I recently had my clutch, slave, and master cylinder replaced.
It has only happened about 3 times, but I noticed some knocking once i start the truck (happens for maybe a minute), and when i push in my clutch it goes away.

Any ideas as to why this is happening? I have a week left on my labor warranty, but it does not happen often, so I can not show them the problem most likely.

Coincidentally my gas gauges are far more inaccurate after having the work done

Would appreciate any input,
Thanks

sounds like noisy throw out bearing...especially since you put pressure on it, pushing in the clutch..might be normal, but given new ( I hope they replaced it while in there)... it really should be quiet. I would let your mechanic know that it is noisy, just in case it gets a lot worse

Hopefully your shop put in a quality kit and not a remanned POS...The master might be a little low so check that as these tend to stick a little if the level is low. DEFINITELY go to the trouble to get underneath and check the trans fluid level...maybe they forgot to refill it before they took it off the rack...it happens! I've done it!
