98 cobra conv -ram air, flow masters

just replaced the throw out bearing on my stang maybe a few weeks ago, well actually we put the whole damed cluch kit in, it ran like a beast until yesterday, we took it out for a little road trip, oh maybe 100 miles outside of seattle then on our way back it started to squeel again. you can also hear a slight wine, kinda like a blower exept not as loud. any advise? do they sell heavy duty type throw out bearings?

never really thought about that, your talking about the one that holds the throw bearing in place right

As fast1 said, check the retainer, but also check for other things..

1. cable adjustment, if its too tight theres always pressure on the TO and that will make it die early.
2. Fork wear, could be pulling the TO unevenly.
3. Bellhousing alignment
4. pressure plate, pressure could be uneven, change it.
5. Replace the Pilot bearing
