Should the throw out bearing touch the clutch diaphram? If is to loose I get the squaeling sound. To tight it can wear it out right?

The throwout bearing should not touch the diaphram when the cluch is engaged. You should leave a little gap in there.

Adjust the cable so you have 1" to 1.25" of pedal reeplay. I had a little bit of a strange noise and added a touch more freeplay and the sound disappeared.
