Question throw-out bearing

I am looking for some suggestions for the following problem:

Replaced:

Clutch Plate
Pilot Bearing
Pressure Plate
Throw out bearing
Clutch release fork

For some reason I still get some squeeking noise from the trow-out bearing. Does any one have any helpful hints?

Thanks,
Steve

are you sure its the throw out bearing? does it do it with the pedal pressed in or with it out or in between? did you have your flywheel resurfaced?

Bearing

The fly wheel was not resurfaced, it seemed pretty smooth and I did not give it much thought because the old clutch was still in good shape.
My reason for saying the bearing was making noise was because the noise will change as the clutch pedal is moved. It seems to get better if I but just slight pressure on the pedal. It makes differant pitch noise as you move the pedal. Any thoughts?

DAVE186, thank you very much for your help with this.

Did you grease the input shaft when you put the new bearing on? I like to use silicone based grease like syl-glide.

Throw-out bearing

The shaft does have a light coating of grease on it. The Chilton's states "fill the groove of the release bearing hub with grease", does this sound right? I am not a bearing expert so let me ask this, the hub groove is the space between the two ends of the bearing on the exterior of the bearing, right?

Thanks,
Steve
