   There is a squeak coming from my clutch just while the engines running. It stops when i push the clutch in and ive been told its the thrust bearing. If the bearing is going does it mean the clutch is on its way out?
   
   Also, when i push the clutch it squeaks, clutch cable?
   
   thanks

   may as well fit a full clutch while box is out to fit thrust bearing, bearing can also squeak

   As said probablies is but could also be a driveshaft at fault, i replaced the clutch and still got the problem so replaced the drive shaft and sorted it out
   
   But thrust bearing was worn to bits
   
   And as said above just get a valeo clutch kit should only be about 90 with VAT, check the condition of the flywheel face too when you do take the gearbox and clutch off

   ok, so is it worth changing the clutch and thrust bearing first? Just to rule it out?
   
   or is the driveshaft the more likely fault?
   
   cheers
