Saves a lot of $ to do it once and do it right. At minimum an LSD should be installed. Also third gear synchro is most likely a little more worn than the others so that should be replaced. New throw out berring also. Umm look a few posts up Todd I said that already 06 GMC Sierra 2500HD Dmax/ally 06 Pontiac G6 GT 05 CRF250R FOR SALE 06 KX65 with riding gear $2700 obo

I'm thinking take yourself to the 3L conversion forum. If you haven't had a turbo car before you will be more than happy with a 3L contour. You can learn a lot more about the car and engine and you can make that car compete with any late model v6 sedan on the market right now. Afterwards you can upgrade that motor to a turbo if you still find you want more power and want to keep the car. Take it in steps and you will get more use out of the car, learn more and probably enjoy it more. Former owner of '99 CSVT - Silver #222/2760 356/334 wHP/TQ at 10psi on pump gas!

The one time I had a throw out bearing it would make a whirring sound when I'd let the clutch out and it was in nuetral. So yes, that sounds like a throw out bearing going bad. Don't know about the squeaky clutch though.
