After adjusting the clutch free play rod to both ends of the bolt, I am still not able to completely disengage the throw out bearing from the clutch fingers. I did manage to get it to a spot where the bearing stopped chirping while in idle, but when I push the clutch in there is a brief chirp as I am pushing the pedal to the floor.

Also, notice in the attached photo, where the bearing rests on the transmission input shaft cover. There is still about 1/8 inch where the bearing could slide back. But now it seems like I have a new issue, oil leaking from the hole that's on the bottom on the input shaft cover. You can see about half of the hole in the picture, under one of the fork fingers. I am assuming this hole is not supposed to leak oil?
