Hi guys
Clutch on my sprinter makes a screeching sound when pressed. Any ideas on what is causing this ? Could it be the thrust bearing ?

i guess old clutch. I have fitted 14 volks over the stock 13s and now the rpm surges from 3 to 4k, slipping like hell, id like to fit in a heavy duty clutch, how much these go for ?. im not really confident in DIY mechanic but im eager to learn  .

can usually get stock spec clutches beefed up with around 30-40% increse in clamping pressure for not much at all. i have been quoted about $160 trade for this exact setup for a beefed up stock spec Sprinter clutch.

You will probably get the clutch release bearing with the clutch disk and pressure plate as a kit,not sure bout the spigot bearing
just go to a clutch specialist (some one who builds them) and ask to have the pressure plate upgraded, also ask what the original clamping pressure is
ive had a daikin pressure plate upgraded for me AE92 for 500lbs to 2200lbs

well i got it in NZ and for cost from a company called BNT ( not sure if thats a australian company or not ), anyway it cost me $360 for the 1 ton pressure plate + a brass button clutch plate + a release bearing. So it would have been less if i got an organic clutch plate
Retail i guess is probably around 30% more

no you dont usually get a spigot bearing with the clutch as it isnt usualy considered part o the clutch assembly. but it would be stupid not to replace it while you have the gearbox out
