Strangest noise that started around 30-40 miles after I put a brand new clutch in the car;

-noise only appears at the top of clutch pedal travel (when pedal is released)
-on initial cold start its quiet
-noise quiets almost completely when car is in gear and under load or when engine braking
-noise was not there prior to clutch replacement

The car is running a jp4 engine and a MA 1.5D gearbox. The flywheel and clutch are not upgraded, standard 180mm item. Sachs brand.

Any ideas? Will check and replace gearbox oil, although I doubt its coming from the box.
