[Mgs] Sqeal with release of clutch pedal

[Dodd, Kelvin]

Douglas:

A dry pilot bearing will give these symptoms. When cold the end of the
transmission input shaft is chattering inside the dry bronze bush. Once
it heats up the tolerances tighten and the high frequency chattering
(squeel) stops. Not much to do except live with it till it's time to
redo the clutch.
