Yesterday I lost all pedal pressure when pressing the clutch pedal then it started making a squelling sound when the pedal is pressed. I checked the fluid level and its fine Im leaning toward just replacing the throw out bearing.
The clutch is a southbend 3250 dd and it has about 60k on it, I dont abuse it and it dosent show any signs of slippage.

Any other ideas or if this is a good idea.

Sounds like the throw-out bearing to me. I wish someone would make one that's greasable like the ones you find on OTR trucks. While you're in there go ahead and replace the pilot bearing.....it's cheap insurance.

Just an update talked to Peter at Southbend amd he was dead on the shop that installed my clutch left the spacer behind the throwout pivot which wiped out the throwout bearing and bent 3 fingers on the pressure plate. Gona cost around $600 to get it rebuilt by Southbend.
They are a good company that knows thier stuff,

Glad to hear they're gonna get you fixed up! Sucks about the cost though.
