Paul,
Q: Clutch squeal when depressed?
A: Throwout bearing almost for sure. Time to get a new one and I would do
the same and consider replacing the entire clutch assembly. The GT6 one I
got was $85cdn and the bearing was $60cdn. Just easier to do all at once.
Q: Excessive travel of clutch pedal
A: Could be the slave has too much fluid in it. When I put tranmission back
in I had that and had to push the piston back in then rebleed to remove the
excessive travel. Now the clutch starts to disengage 1-1/2 inches from the
top :-)
Just my 2cents
