I agree with you and the other poster--the most likely source is the
clutch. If you did not install the new clutch, take it back and tell the
person that installed it that he needs to adjust it.

thanks guys so much for helping me out. i am wondering why he didnt fix the
throw out bearing when he replaced the clutch. unless he did and like you
said it just needs to be adjusted.

When you take it back, you can ask him whether or not he fixed the throw
out bearing. It's hard to second guess mechanics. I suppose that it is
possible that he took a close look at the throw out bearing and determined
that it did not need to be fixed or replaced. Mechanics and doctors can
make mistakes. It happens on a regular basis. I once read about a doctor
that accidently reversed the xray and ended up cutting off the wrong leg.

Bearing may be new, but the part where the fork rubs on the bearing
needs to be greased, and maybe he didn't know that?
Here's a quote from a (Chiltons) CRV manual...

||||||| On re-assembly, apply a high temperature grease to the ears of
the release fork where it contacts the release bearing, and to the inner
surface of the release bearing and its guide tube. |||||||

Also, shortly after you replace a clutch is the time it should be
rechecked because it wears a lot until it gets 'seated comfortably'.

it could be the fork but when my fork squeaks its only when i am pushing the
pedal all the way in (to the floor) and it makes a god aweful sound like a
dieing cat. the way i fixed it was to get some white lithium grease (kind
in a can with a straw like wd-40) and gently sprayed it on the forks fingers
making sure not to get the clutch disk. this can be done by sliding back
the fork boot on the front of the engine right behind the radiator. once
again i make no guarentees on my suggestions and it may not work for your
car. also spraying any type of grease in, near, around your clutch is
highly not reccomended.

Curly,
This is good advice. However, don't you think that they mechanic that
messed up the job should be the person that repairs the problem for free?
