Question clutch noise

so i just replaced my clutch tob and pressure plate about 6000 miles ago and everything was fine... now i just noticed, that when i was in nuetral clutch engaged it makes a very slight grinind noise. like before but much much quieter. if i push in the clutch it goes away. ive only heard it this first time. this is my everyday driver for now but im not hard on it at all. other than occasionaly dumping the clutch from the revs getting stuck (working on finding out what that is) its never really romped on. is my pressure plate already going bad?! how?! or is this normal....

i would suspect the throw out bearing or pilot bushing/bearing.

faulty tob, not adjusted right, pilot bearing faulty or not changed when clutch was changed. do you ride (hold foot on peddle) the clutch when you drive?
