Throwout bearing woos, any input would help

Bad story 2night guys. Recently over the summer i blew my clutch and replaced it with a fidanza flywheel and 5th gen clutch (great combo). I put the clutch in myself in my driveway with my brother. After, the clutch grabbed great but the was a squeeking noise when the clutch was about to grab (the clutch pedal is pulled about halfway up, right before the contact point). The clutch still grabbed hard (i even ran a low 15s with my brothers g-tech) but that squeeking was still there, you can even hear it when shifting from gear to gear when the car is moving. Anyway today i got acess to a garage, fully stocked, payed the owner 150 dollars and pulled the tranny today with a good friend and put in a new throwout bearing, greased it up. and whoala,, still squeeks!!!. Now i am pissed, excuse my poor grammer but what is goin on, is my tranny about to blow? now after putting this puzzel back together the max will barley start, i think the starter is ABOUT to blow, I can hear it bang around as the car is desperatly struggleing to start. Any input would help, im a soon to be broke college kid, what would u do?

IMHO, I think you should take it to a shop that can accurately diagnose the problem, then decide what to do.

Did you replace the t/o bearing each time? Did you grease it per the specs?
