Chirp, Chirp, Chirp 200

Had a bird chirping at me all day yesterday when I pressed the clutch. Yes, it's the dreaded "failing Throw-out Bearing". 11 years ago I bought a clutch kit from a parts place 40 miles from home. My clutch had already failed and I was driving my wife's car. The next day (saturday) I pulled the tranny and pressure plate. Sure as snuff I'd been sold the wrong kit and the store wasn't open. The only right part was the clutch disc (I still don't understand it after all this time) so needing the car badly, I put it back together using only the new disc. I knew that this day would come sooner or later (about 100K), so now I've got to deal with it (ha ha). I don't mind working on quality machinery. Man I love my Volvo(s).

Pardon my ignorance, but could you describe this chirp sound? I hear a squeaking sound when I push/release the pedal on my '88 245DL, but have "assumed" that it was the return spring on the clutch pedal. Maybe not.
Thanks.

I've been running my 88 245 with M47 for many months with no return spring,
I tried buy one and the guy a Swedish Engineering said he couldn't find one(which makes me wonder why an M46 return spring won't work), so you could take the sping off as a process of elimation.

Are you a lucky M46 owner?
