I know twin plate clutches are normally noisey but im not sure whats 'normal' and whats not. Hoping someone can help who knows from experience.

The Noises:

-"Ringing" noise with clutch pedal in (99% sure this is normal)

-Sometimes when im taking off and let the clutch bite (slowly) there is a very loud grinding noise (no idea if this is normal)

This doesnt happen all the time and i originally thought this was my input shaft bearing which i knew was bad. Recently got a reconditioned box installed but told the mechanic to leave the clutch in if it looked fine (which he said it did). The first two days there were no grinding noises but today it started making the grinding noise again and im hoping that it is just a 'normal' noise of the two clutch plates grinding on contact (if i let the pedal out slow).

if its not normal - is it more likely a clutch thing or a gearbox bearing thing? (i know a RB20det box with twin plate buttom clutches dont go well together but this box has new bearings and has only been in for 150km so i hope to God it hasnt started screwing the box already).
