I'll try and make this quick as I can.

My throw out bearing(TOB) was going out. Got it replaced under warranty. Now it is back to squeeling like a pig once again. I feel like if I take it back to them, it will just start squeeling again.

I read on here that there is a way to adjust the clutch pedal to keep the TOB from squeeling. The squeel goes away if I barely touch on the pedal. It just has to move a fraction of an inch for it to stop barking at me.

If anyone knows the little adjustment trick, let me know! Thanks!

The only way I know you can adjust the clutch is when the car is parked and you have it in first gear lift up on the clutch with the toe of your foot till you hear it click, and if it doesn't click it didn't need adjusting. Although I don't think that will help the TOB issue.

When I replaced mine it started squeeling on me again but I didn't want to crawl under there again, so I left it and it eventually went away on me, beleive it or not. But I'm not saying that that will happen with yours.
 
Yea, it 1st started back in June of last year. Thought it was an idler pulley and had it replaced. Still happened. Sat on it for a while till January. Now it's back to doing it. If I'm real nice to it driving wise, it doesn't squeel. But it still shouldn't happen!

I tried adjusting the clutch a few times, but it didn't need it. Don't think that will fix it either though....
