Clutch Squeal

[cmichaelvincent]

Within the last 30 seconds of my last drive, my comanche started making this horrible high-pitched squealing noise. This noise only occurs when I depress the clutch pedal / disengage the clutch. The noise persists for as long as the engine is on and the pedal is depressed. I think I may have also lost some clutch pressure but cannot tell for sure.

 

I think it may have been some small particle finding its way in between the clutch and the flywheel, as it sounds a bit like grinding. Most of the other research I've done points to the possibility of it being a bad throwout bearing, but I sincerely hope that is not the case as I just replaced the internal slave cylinder / throwout bearing assembly less than 6 months ago.

 

Thanks for the help
