Clutch Problem

I had a new Borge Warner clutch installed last year towards the end of the summer. About a month later I started getting a squeeling sound as I started to let the clutch out. It would squeel just as the clutch started to grab then stop when the clutch was all the way out. This would happen usually after a long ride. After many trips back to the transmission shop the shop determined it was a bad throw out bearing. They replaced it at no charge. After being stored all winter I drove it several times on short runs with no squeel. This past Sunday I took it out for a long ride. The next day it started squeeling again. Has anyone ever heard of this problem?

Could be the pilot bearing in the rear of the crank - not sure.
Looks like you may need to drop the trans again :(
