Defo the thrust bearing, clutch pedal in = squeal ,clutch pedal out = silence.
Not many garages will replace just the thrust bearing, if the car has the miles on it to have shagged the thrust bearing the friction or drive plate will not be far behind, complete new clutch is the sensible answer.
The clutch started to slip when gunning my MR2 away from a large roundabout near me, its the only way to get across this bloody great doughnut on the A3 London to Portsmouth road. New clutch (Thrust Bearing, Driven/Friction Plate and Pressure Plate) fitted £256-00 job done in a day car is good for another 80-90K miles.
The MR2 mid engined jobby is quite heavy on the clutches, limited slip diff on rear wheel drive.
