Clutch squeak and soft clutch

Clutch squeak and soft clutch
Hi,
I've recently had a weird sound coming from the transmission. Whenever the car was warm, running or not, you could hear a squeaky spring-like sound coming from there. Dealer said it was a pressure plate and replaced the clutch, flywheel, but according to the paperwork not the throwout bearing?... Anyways, the noise is back... The car blew a tire and is at the shop right now and I will get a phone call tomorrow, but for now, does anyone have any idea what's going on?
Also, is it normal that the new clutch is very soft? I hope it will harden over time. I liked the idea that the clutch in my MCS was heavier than in my M Coupe! Better feel!
Thanks!

Perhaps a review of this thread will provide some insight into the squeaky-sounding clutch pedal?
Also, I've seen reports on the forum that the newer (starting with MY 2011) have a lighter feel; I imagine the replacement clutches will be coming from the same batch now.
