My wife's 90 RS has a t-5 that squeals until you press the clutch pedal about an inch or so,then it stops. Throw-out bearing? What else could I check for pertaining to the squeal before or after I pull the tranny out?

if the squeeling sounds like a loud as cricket, then yeah its your throwout bearing. Ive replaced mine three times this year, and its still does it. I found out about a week ago that a bent clutch fork will also do it, so ime assuming thats my problem, just one more thing to check while the tranny is out
