Clutch making grinding noise.

Just replaced my clutch; flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, pilot bearing, slave cylinder, and starter. After driving it around less than 5 miles it started making a loud grounding noise. Any idea?

When does it make the noise, all of the time the clutch is engaged, when you depress the clutch pedal? Throwout bearing?

makes the noise constantly weather the clutch is pressed in or not, makes me think it's not the throw out bearing.

I put a new pilot bearing in with the kit and greased it.

Does it make the noise when the clutch pedal is depressed? You need to explain the problem fully. What makes you think it's the clutch?

It makes the noise no matter what gear or if clutch is depressed or not, even in neutral. When I shut the truck off I can see through the hole in the transmission the pressure plate coming to a stop the same time the noise stops. Trying to upload a video to YouTube so I can post a link on here for you to see.

Just needed a shim on the starter!

Thanks for trying to help me but apparently the new starter just needed to be shimmed!!!
