This is probably confirming the obvious, but I'd like to hear from the List if
my suspicions are correct.

I now have a high-pitched metal-to-metal squeal when I just start to lightly
press on my clutch pedal.  The squeal quickly disappears when I press the
clutch pedal all the way down.  I've traced the noise with a stethoscope to
the clutch actuation lever/bell housing area.  The clutch release bearing
seems to be the obvious culprit - which is a pisser since I only replaced it
and everything else in that area two years ago.

Before I once again yank out my tranny, does the List have any advice?
Assuming that it is the release bearing, are there better ones to use - or
better installation techniques - to avoid having this happen again so soon?

Thanks much in advance,
