clutch noises ??

Hi all,
so ive had my mcs about a month or two. No problems up untill the day before yesterday I started hearing a rubbing noise when I ease off of the clutch. It only happens when going into 2nd and 4th. If I ease off of the clutch its a slightly high pitch rubbing sound but if I dump the clutch I don`t hear it. Im not sure what it could be, is this normal or should I have it checked out ?

Does the sound only occur when you're applying pressure to the clutch pedal?

No, the noise is when I`m releasing the clutch. I don`t hear anything when I apply pressure.

That rules out the throwout bearing. The stock clutch/flywheel should make absolutely no noise when they are engaged. If you're still under warranty by all means take it in.
