>It turned out that the ends of the fingers on the clutch had worn,
I had the same problem with my '75 504 Diesel. It was because the release
bearing was shot, it squealed like a stuck pig. Well, really the release
bearing was seized and and it dragged on the clutch fingers to the point
that it very nearly wore them through! It was a big embarassment at every
stop light until I repaced the clutch and release bearing.
Is it possible that the release bearing was not replaced at the time the
clutch was replaced?
