Clutch T.O. Bearing Problems

I own a 92 Camaro, 305 cid, 5 spd. Recently, the "Chevy Guys" replaced the clutch, pressure plate, pilot bearing, and throw-out bearing. Afterwards, (24 hrs)a high pitched squeel would come from underneath the car. Had the throw-out bearing replaced. Worked for about 3 days, squeel came back. Note: squeel stops if you place light pressure on the clutch pedal. Chevy guys think it might be a worn clutch fork, but they seem to balk at any concrete solution. Any ideas, suggestions would be very helpful as the C.Gs want to charge me again to pull the tranny to replace a fork that they don't seem too sure will solve the problem.

i believe it could possibly be the clutch fork. I mean if its bent the T/O will really gently ride against the pressure plate making a squeek noise until minium pressure is applied

It might be your front bearing on your tranny. Mine is wearing out and is making a sound when I am in neutral and the clutch is not engaged, as soon as I press the clutch and put it in a gear the sound goes away. My mechanic and a tranny shop said it was the front bearing on the tranny making the sound.
Can't hurt to have it checked. Take it to a tranny shop and let them hear it.
