Xflow Screaming sound from clutch!
Took the motor for a short test drive. All seemed fine except for an intermittent and horrendous screaming sound when depressing the clutch and in
gear.
Only sometimes.
New clurch kit fitted and fine when it's fine if you know what I mean! When it does this, if I move out of gear and work the clutch a couple of
times it's OK.
I did wonder if this might have something to do with the very tight curve in the clutch cable? Is there a longer one available?
Any ideas? I guess this wouldn't be an SVA issue anyway.

Thrust bearing sticking from the sound of it.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

All new clutch bits.
Think it might free up after a bit?
Fisrt time the car's been driven. I guess I must have put the engine back together about 2 yrs ago.

Here's a thought - I have no stop under my clutch pedal and the bulkhead is too far away to contact.
I wonder if the travel on the pedal is more than is good for the clutch when sometimes depressed too far?

In the original post the noise was "in gear" -- if you only get it in a gear and not in neutral this would be less likely
