Squeaking noise

[Lockhouse]

Here's a tricky one.

My 1952 Super has a loud squeaking noise like a wheel bearing going except it's coming from the front\middle of the car. It sounds like something needs lubrication. It happens under the following circumstances all of the time:

Throttle pressed - no noise.

In gear all pedals up - noise.

Depress the clutch - no noise.

So I would say it's possibly clutch related; any ideas?

Thanks,

Andy

sounds like the ...throwout bearing....maybe...is it at idle?
I adjusted my clutch a bit as my car had no been driven in ages....
If you depress the clutch just a bit, does it go away?

Yes, that's the one - exactly what it sounds like!

It goes away either when I depress the clutch OR engage the throttle. So I guess that's what it is. Can you remember what adjustment you did to get the noise to go?

Also if it is the throwout bearing, is this a propshaft off job?

Thanks very much for your reply,

Andy
