Release Bearing or Pilot Bearing
When I release the clutch (push the pedal to the floor) from a dead stop, I hear a squeaking/grinding noise and my car wants to stall.
I've done a lot of forum searches around the web and there seems to be a lot of confusion about which bearing causes this noise in this situation. Any input?

but if clutch not releasing when depressed it likely to be damaged clutch and\or pressure plate unless the bearing is completly ceased. While its apart you might as well replace the lot with an uprated unit if not done already. |

+1^^^ Don't try driving it. Have it trailered to the shop if you're not doing the clutch job yourself.

I really have no choice as I don't have any other modes of transportation during the week. I just ordered a new clutch today and wont be getting it until Wednesday. From my research, it seems to be the pilot bearing which isn't as dangerous as a failing throw out bearing which can damage the transmission.
From what I see with my car, there is no noise after the car launches. Only at idle and launch. So the bearing doesn't seem to be in use when cursing. The release bearing(throw out) is constantly spinning when the clutch is engaged. The Pilot bearing (seated in between the flywheel) connects to the input shaft. The main purpose is to guide the input shaft. So, when I start the car, input shaft has no rotation, pilot bearing begins spinning, then the pilot bearing is in use. When the clutch is engage, the pilot bearing is not in use, so no sound.

To test throwout/release bearing:
Drive steady speed somewhere quiet Push pedal part way down, not far enough to release the clutch Throwout bearing will spin, pilot bearing will not. (Is that right? My poor old brain can't work very well this morning) |

OP, I strongly advise against driving it but if you insist, learn to shift without the clutch. Refrain from depressing it except to start from a dead stop. This will be your <ahem> crash course in rev matching. It won't last long.

But you're right, this one sounds like it's gone too far and OP probably shouldn't be driving it. |

Release bearing always makes noise when the clutch is engaged if it is damaged. Pilot bearing makes noise when the clutch is pressed. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boPbjotHSE0"]Clutch release bearing/throwout bearing squealing noise - YouTube[/ame] I fear the throwout bearing more as that can disintegrate and get caught up in the transmission and cause failure.

I've never experienced a pilot bearing failure so I'm especially curious in hearing of the outcome. Good luck with the repair.
