Clutch noise issue

So, a while back my car began making a screeching sound when you put the pedal in. It still drives fine, and it's not hard to shift. It doesn't do it when you let the peddle out, either while driving around or just putting it in neutral. I think it's the throw out bearing, but the previous owner told me they replaced it recently. I'm thinking it was probably just was/needs greased, which is fine with me. However, it doesn't have a grease fitting, so I don't really know how to get the grease in there. Any suggestions?

My uncle suggested it might be my stock cable/clutch quadrant being messed up. The peddle had started degrading, it had less and less resistance as time went by. I knew the quadrant or cable was getting bent/stretched but I'm not sure how it could make it screech??? Also, the auto-adjust feature of the stock quadrant only holds up for one clutch depression, then it falls right back down.


I'd really appreciate some input guys, I've had it with trans jobs this year and I'd really like to avoid pulling it out if I don't have too.

It does sound like a bad T/O bearing. There is no way to grease it. it is a sealed bearing.
Looks like you are taking the trans out again. Order yourself a firewall adjuster and a quadrant. I use a Valeo stock T/O bearing with no problems. While everything is out take a look at the flywheel, PP, and disk to make sure nothing looks out of the ordinary.
