I'd say that the squeal is from the release bearing.
I wouldn't change it unless it starts giving you
problems with shifting. I don't know about you, but
taking out the trans isn't something I like doing
every weekend. Unfortunatly I have gotten preety damn
good at taking it out. If you do replace the bering,
through a new clutch kit in. YOu might as well.
