[DeTomaso] clutch squeal

[John Taphorn]

It may also be the pilot bushing should you not be running a bearing.  I had 
this issue two years ago.  I also blame it on a potential misalignment of 
the ZF input shaft to the crank centerline caused by line boring the main 
journals on two occasions.  Although, I never took measurements and, as 
such, it remains a hypothesis. It may also have been aggravated by using a 
ferrous bushing.  In any event, I replaced the pilot bushing, lubed it well 
and so far no more squeaky.
