Squealing Noise After Replacing Clutch

Squealing Noise After Replacing Clutch
Hey guys - just wanted to see how many people were having this problem or if the Lexus dealer was just giving me the run around.
I have an 02 5spd and they replaced the clutch under warranty at about 35k cuz it was starting to slip. Nevertheless, now I have this annoying squealing sound (kinda sounds like I need a new fanbelt) thats coming from the car. They said they can't do anything about it and its just a characteristic of the car now...when I depress the clutch all the way it goes away usually but otherwise its there constantly....
Anyone else have this problem and find a solution for it?! Thanks!

Yeah apparently they did and they even "drilled" a hole for something to move a component....they said its the throw out bearing thats causing the sound and told me "tough luck" basically....
Any other ideas?!

Definately is your throw out bearing. They should have replaced the bearing when they replaced the clutch, its even manditory in the Repair Manuals. If it was not squealing before clutch replacement but it is now, they may have damaged the bearing when reinstalling the trans. It is pretty tight in there getting the 5 speed back in and its very possible they damaged this bearing. Definately do NOT settle for them not fixing it. It is their own fault. Especially being under warranty, you can contact higher authority and report your dealers bad practices. It WILL get taken care of for you if you do that. Also, use a different dealership next time around if thats how they are going to take care of customers. They make Lexus look bad.

I couldn't agree more, but I've been back to the dealership for the same problem about 3 times and they're saying there is nothing they can do about it and its a characteristic of the car after they put the new clutch in. I'm not sure what else to do - its really frustrating but they're just not willing to help anymore and there is only one Lexus dealer in New Mexico!

i have that squeeling too. i already thought it was the throwout bearing... just haven't had the time to get to the dealership. hopefully monday i can get by there.
but can it hurt anything? or is it just annoying?

FINALLY GOT IT FIXED
it ended up needing a spring kit. thats pretty much all they told me. im guessing it is the spring that is attached to the throwout bearing
but anyways... day 1 and so far no squeeking. i'll keep ya'll posted.
