I have an 04 CC with 80,000 miles, about 3/4 of that highway miles. Lately my throwout bearings has been squealing. This seems awfully soon for a throwout bearing failure. Has anyone else had one go bad so soon?

Not I. I had a 95 4 cyl that had around 125K on it and a 99 that I got rid of with 95K and neither one ever had a throwout bearing problem.

How do you know it is the TO bearing?

The TOB on my '01sc has been squeeling for the last 120,000 miles, at least. I've got 165K on it now. It's worse in cold weather. I usually hear it when it's under load in 1st and 2nd gear, but sometimes when I'm cruisin' in 5th. Just waitin' for it to go so I can upgrade the clutch. I know it's my TOB because I can always make the squeel go away when I take the slack out of the clutch petal. I've also read it might have something to do w/a cracked flywheel. I'll find out one day I'm sure.

The noise only happens when there is pressure on the clutch pedal. I can often get the noise to go away by re-engaging the clutch. It doesn't always make the noise, and it seems to be worse when cold, but not always.

I would entertain ideas of other things to look for.

i used to get a squeeling noise on my truck when i would push the clutch. The tb was shot to hell when i removed.
