So my oem clutch had 174k on it. Worked decently well still just the throw out bearing started to make noise. Well I ordered exedy clutch and had a guy put it in for me.. He used to work at a transmission shop and works on transmissions still every weekend. Anyway now that my new clutch is in I don't feel it grab really at all... What I mean by that is if your on flat ground in 1st-3rd gear and slowly let go of the clutch at a dead stop the car moves forward. Well... My car isn't moving forward in 1st even like it is but maybe .002 mph... I'm assuming he didn't bleed the master cylinder I'm going to do that tomorrow morning but any other suggestions? I am going to call him back to see what the hells going on but if its something small that takes me a few mins that's fine but if you guys think its something more I'll take it back asap. Once moving car drives 100% great the clutch feels good it just doesn't grab like a normal clutch does. I mean it's brand new it should grab like a fat kid grabbing a Twinkie but its grabbing like a homeless man to a now hiring sign lol.

Squeaking would be he just didn't get enough grease on the throwout bearing. Also you're not supposed to rest your foot on the clutch pedal.

Might could trying working the clutch with the car off to see if that doesn't spread the grease on it. If not would suck to have to drop it again just for that.
