Throwout bearing noisy - 4 speed manual

Almost sure its the throwout bearing.....When i put the clutch in there is a juddery vibration and a constant "squawking" noise. It doesnt do it all the time and it doesnt happen in neutral but if your in gear and you press the clutch then the noise starts.

What i want to know is when i replace the throwout bearing is there anything else i should replace whilst the box is out ( seals / flywheel / maybe new clutch ) Is there a clutch / flywheel package you lads recommend ? ( Mc Leod )

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

No idea what the best course of action is on our 40+ motors but when that bearing went on my daily I had the clutch done since the box was out.

The only seal that can be done without further major surgery is the trans rear seal. Unless you have a leak I wouldn't bother. Uprating the clutch is a good idea if you have the cash. McLeod seem to be the clutch of choice, you need to know your power and weight and driving style and have a look at the Brewers website. Lots of info and several to choose from!
It does sound like your release bearing. Probably also worth doing the little bearing in the end of the crank. Can't remember it's proper name sorry!
