Classic symptom of impending TOB failure. Self-adjusting mechanism means it's always in contact with the pressure plate, just no force on it.

When it's starting to seize up, it'll screech when you're not touching it because it's not spinning with the pressure plate. Then when you start laying into it, the force on the face of the bearing overcomes the stiffness of the seizing components and it stops screeching.

You can bring it by my pad this weekend if you want me to listen to it in person.
