Squealing sound when accelerating from stop
Whenever I let my clutch out I hear a squeal when the car starts moving, it will squeal even if the clutch is already engaged and I slow to 5-10 mph and reaccelerate. Even if i rev it a little from a stop it happens. From what I understand the car has a new clutch, I'm not sure if the pilot bearing was replaced when the job was done. Could the pilot bearing be the cause? This started happening a few months ago.
Sounds like it's coming from the center of the car somewhere.
Thanks,

Cant be the pilot if it happens after the clutch is fully engaged.
If you are sure its form under the car I would suspect torque tube bearings or even the couplers.

Ok it actually seems like it only happens when I start to accelerate from a slow speed or a stop. I know it would happen when I would give it a small rev from a stop but it doesn't seem to be doing this anymore.
But what worries me even more is that the other day when I was cold out I put the car in reverse and the car would not come out of gear. I had to turn it off and pull pretty darn hard to get it out. Then the clutch pedal was stuck to the floor, I had to pull it up and then when I would press it down the pedal would stick again. Finally get it in 1st pull it foreward and parked it. The next day no probs at all... And none sense
Pretty aggrivating, maybe an issue with the throw out bearing, I really don't even know where to begin. the cluch fluid looks black, I keep replacing it but evenually it gets dirty again.
