The term 'screeching' suggest the noise you hear may not be the throw-out bearing but it could be the pilot bearing. I have found that if grease is used on the transmission input shaft it can gum-up rather than lubricate the bearing. For me a light coating of engine oil seems to work better than grease as a lubricant... Al
