Noticed today that when the clutch is engaged (foot off the clutch, "in gear") in any gear or neutral, there's a screeching/screaming noise coming from the transmission I can only assume. Clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, and throw out will be 2 this September/October and if it's the throw out bearing this will be my 2nd one that started by screeching before taking my clutch out.

 

What could it be and if it's the throw out bearing is it too late to save my $1000 clutch or would it be something simple like a slave cylinder? I so think I need a new one since engages and disengages are a little rough...

Can you take a picture of the clutch disk? 2-3" is nuts. Did you drain the tranny prior to removal? If not, do so and see what the quality is. If it is full of metal contamination, then yes, full rebuild is in order.

I have not but I plan on draining it. It's a pretty good amount of rotation in that clutch...

What is the pilot bearing like in the rear of the crankshaft?

Perfect, no play, free spinning. It's a sealed unit so it's all there still.
